Royal residences in Sweden
The term “royal palace” in Sweden typically refers to the eleven palaces owned by the Swedish state that, since the early 19th century, have been included under the royal right of disposal. In addition to these, several other castles and palaces are associated with the Swedish royal family, either because they have been used by the monarch or other members of the royal family in the present day or historically, under various forms of tenure.
The official royal palaces are owned by the Swedish state (svenska staten), administered by the Office of the Governor of the Royal Palaces (Ståthållarämbetet), and maintained by the Swedish National Property Board (Statens fastighetsverk). Alongside these, several residences are privately owned by members of the royal family, serving both personal and symbolic purposes. While some are active homes, others fulfill primarily ceremonial roles, offering a glimpse into the enduring legacy and evolving functions of Sweden’s royal household.
