Rosendal Palace, located on Djurgården, an island in central Stockholm, was built between 1823 and 1827 for King Charles XIV John, the first Bernadotte king of Sweden. The design of the palace was the result of a collaboration between Fredrik Blom and Fredrik August Lidströmer. The palace was completed in 1827 and the interiors were later recreated for the opening of the Rosendal Palace Museum in 1913.
Today, the palace is open for guided tours during the summer months. It serves as a museum of Karl XIV Johan and his time, preserving the interior design taste of the 1820s and 1830s. The palace stands today largely as it did in Charles XIV John's lifetime, managed by the Royal Djurgården Administration as a state monument.
