Exploring Gustav III's Wooden Castle Blueprint…

Enter Gustav III's wooden world, discover the hidden chamber revealing the castle's inner halls and sculptures, and unravel the story of why Big Haga Castle was never constructed.

Nestled in Hagaparken, the Haga Park museum houses three rooms filled with pictures and maps. The primary attraction is a large wooden model of Big Haga Castle, as planned by Gustav III. By lifting the sides of the model, you reveal intricate details: miniature halls, chairs and lifelike sculptures. Fascinatingly, Big Haga Castle was designed, but never built. The project was halted with Gustav III's death in 1792.

The model offers a glimpse into what could have been, but was never built.
