Sparreska palatset, Hamngatan, Baroque palace in Riddarholmen, Sweden
The Sparreska palatset features symmetrical facades with dark green window frames against white walls and decorative iron anchors along its exterior walls.
Queen Christina granted the land to Peder Eriksson Sparre in 1635 as compensation after his father's execution during the Linköping Bloodbath of 1600.
The palace transformed from a noble residence into Sweden's first public maternity hospital in 1775, with ten beds established on the ground floor.
Following extensive renovations completed in 2011, the building now serves as the headquarters of the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden.
The palace includes a limestone terrace artwork named Arkipelag, incorporating stones from Öland and Gotland into its architectural design.
