Bromska palatset, Private palace from 1900 in Östermalm, Stockholm, Sweden
Bromska palatset is a residential palace built in 1900 in Östermalm, Stockholm, featuring smooth plastered facades in ochre tones with ornamental roof elements. The stone structure displays classical architecture typical of Stockholm's upscale neighborhoods from this era.
Gustaf Emil Broms, chairman of the Gellivare mining company, commissioned architects Erik Lallerstedt and Ludwig Peterson to design this residence in 1900. The French state acquired the property in 1921 and has used it as the ambassador's residence ever since.
The palace reflects early 1900s wealth from the mining industry through its grand reception rooms on the ground floor. The red and blue salons and dining room facing the garden show how the original owners lived and entertained.
The building is located in the upscale Östermalm neighborhood and is clearly visible from the street, though it is not open for visits. The classical architectural details can be easily seen from ground level and make it an interesting landmark while walking through the area.
The palace is one of only four private palaces that remain standing in Stockholm, making it a rare survivor of the city's architectural heritage. These mansions from the wealthy era around 1900 are now scarce and represent a vanished way of life.
