Parkudden, Villa in Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden

Parkudden, also called Stora Parkudden, is a villa on a small hill on eastern Södra Djurgården by Isbladsviken in Stockholm. Ferdinand Boberg's 1899 proposal nearly doubled the existing house, extending it north toward Djurgårdsbrunnskanalen and adding a mansard-roofed storey. The entrance faces west, while a half-round glazed veranda on the east side looks over the water; the entrance gate has Boberg's typical ornamented posts.

A building already stood on the hill at Isbladsviken before Ferdinand Boberg's 1899 proposal nearly doubled its size, added a storey with a mansard roof and moved the entrance west. It served as the summer home of Prince Carl and Princess Ingeborg from 1899 to 1908. From 1908 the Royal Djurgården Administration owned it with royal right of use for the Court; Marcus Wallenberg had it fully renovated after 1926.

The building shows how Stockholm homes of the late 1800s combined international style elements with local building materials. The facade reflects how European design trends merged with Nordic construction techniques that were typical for private residences of that time.

The building sits in an easily accessible location within Stockholm's urban area and can be viewed readily from the outside. Since it is a private residential property, interior viewings are usually not possible.

Parkudden was one of two villas considered as a residence for Princess Madeleine, alongside Villa Beylon in the Ulriksdal palace park. The entrance gate with its ornamented posts is a detail typical of Boberg's work.
