More About Stenbock Palace

Stenbock Palace is a notable Baroque building located on Riddarholmen, an islet in central Stockholm.

Today, the palace houses the administrative offices of the Svea Court of Appeal, but its grand facade and intricate details remain a draw for architecture enthusiasts. The palace's exterior features an ornate stone portal and decorative sculptures, complementing its well-preserved historical interiors visible on special tours.
