Ulriksdals slott

Ulriksdal Castle is located in the Royal National City Park and was built in the 17th century. Highlights include rooms furnished in the 19th century for Charles XV and the Great Living Room furnished in 1923 for Gustaf VI Adolf. Several monarchs have left their mark on the castle – Frederick I, Charles XIV John, Charles XV, and Gustaf VI Adolf, who last used the castle as a royal residence. Queen Christina also appreciated the castle so much that she had her coronation procession start from Ulriksdal Castle in 1650. Ulriksdal is a modern 17th-century castle, with highlights including the living room furnished by Carl Malmsten. The castle is surrounded by a large castle park. In the park, there are several sculptures, including Per Lundgren's sculpture group 'The Net-Drawing Moors'. The sculptures can be viewed at the footbridge over Igelbäcken, which runs through the castle park. Other attractions include the orangery in the castle park, which is now home to the National Museum's collection of Swedish sculpture.
