Originally constructed in 1804, Kammarrättens hus is a building in the classicism style located at Birger Jarls torg 13 on Riddarholmen in Stockholm. It was erected for the Kammarrätten in Stockholm after the Riddarholmsbranden in 1802 on the site of the previous house, the burned-down Cruuska palatset.
Architects Fredrik Blom and Carl Fredrik Bouck designed the building for office activities from the beginning, with workrooms along a corridor and fireproof vaults for archives. The house is built together with Sparreska palatset and borders Wrangelska palatset to the north.
From 1806 to 1969, the Kammararkivet was stored here. The archive's vaulted rooms extended through two floors, and these premises were the first to be specially designed for archival purposes. Since 2011, the building has been occupied by Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen.
