Gävle's phoenix: rise three times from the ashes

Gävle Castle, a palace in Gävle, Sweden, is a testament to the resilience of architecture over the centuries. Originally built between 1583 and 1593 by the Swedish crown, it was designed by Willem Boy. After several decades of decay, the castle was rebuilt in the 1650s and 1660s, becoming the residence of the governor and the office of the provincial government. A severe fire in 1727 left the castle in ruins for nearly a decade until it was rebuilt again in the 1740s. After this second rebuilding, the castle was rebuilt as a modern residence and government office. But, the castle was again destroyed by fire in 1901, and rebuilt in the early 1900s. After this third rebuilding, the castle continues to stand as one of Sweden's most enduring landmarks.
