Bååtska Palatset, located on Blasieholmsgatan 6 in Stockholm, was built 1662–1669 based on drawings by Nicodemus Tessin d.ä. for the treasurer Seved Bååth. The palace has been the headquarters of the Svenska Frimurare Orden since 1874.
Designed by Nicodemus Tessin d.ä, the palace features a grand feast hall, Oscarssalen, which goes through one and a half floors and is extraordinarily magnificent. Parts of the palace’s older interior can be found in the palace’s left wing, including the ceiling of the Kungarum and artwork influenced by Ehrenstrahl.
The palace also houses art, including works by Per Krafft d.y, Gustaf Lundberg, Axel Jungstedt and David Tägtström, along with a unique collection of Frimurarordens literature. It was designated as the 164th building to be heritage-listed in Stockholm County.
