Built during the stormaktstiden, Sparreska palatset on Riddarholmen has had many owners and purposes. From 1807 to 1808, after the great Riddarholmsbrand 1802, the palace was provided with another floor.

Sparreska palatset, located on Birger jarls torg 11 on Riddarholmen in Stockholm, is one of the oldest and most prestigious palaces in the city. It was built around Riddarholmskyrkan and the waterfront during the stormaktstiden to beautify the fatherland and the capital.

From 1807 to 1808, after the great Riddarholmsbrand 1802, the Sparreska palatset was provided with another floor. It is a state building monument and is managed by Statens fastighetsverk.
