Sparreska palatset, Riddarholmen, Noble palace in Riddarholmen, Sweden.
The stone building features symmetrical facades with string courses, a hipped roof, and a terrace overlooking Riddarfjärden water views.
The palace was commissioned by Peder Eriksson Sparre in 1635 as compensation after King Charles IX executed his father during the Linköping bloodbath.
The ground floor served as Sweden's first public maternity ward with ten beds in 1763 when Professor David von Schulzenheim acquired the property.
Since 2011, the Supreme Administrative Court occupies the building after extensive renovations that restored its original white facade with dark green window frames.
The palace's terrace displays Arkipelag, an art installation made from Öland and Gotland limestone, designed by Bengt-Åke Hellman.
