Haga Palace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haga Palace (Haga slott in Swedish), also known as the Queen's Pavilion, is located in Hagaparken, Solna Municipality in Metropolitan Stockholm, Sweden. It was built in 1802 – 1804, commissioned by King Gustav IV Adolf and designed by the city architect Christoffer Gjörwell.
The current King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf and his sisters were born in Haga Palace. After the death of their father, Prince Gustav Adolf, in a plane crash in 1947, the royal family moved to the Royal Palace in Stockholm. In 1966 King Gustaf VI Adolf transferred the right of disposal for Haga Palace to the Swedish Government. Today, the palace is used to accommodate guests of the Swedish Government.
