Schering Rosenhanes palats on Riddarholmen

Located on Riddarholmen in Stockholm, Schering Rosenhanes palats was built in 1652-1656 for the överståthållare Schering Rosenhane based on drawings by Nicodemus Tessin d.ä. From 1776 to 1876, the palace served as the stamhus for the Svenska Frimurare Orden. During this period, the east wing (built around 1800) and the west wing (built around 1850) changed the palace's facade toward the land and the enclosed garden. The facade toward the sea, Riddarfjärden, has retained most of its original beauty.

Behind an iron hatch in the palace's socle toward Schering Rosenhanes gränd, the Normalhöjdpunkten för Sverige has been located since 1886. This location is due to the fact that the Generalstaben was housed in the building. Today, the building is used by Svea hovrätt.
