Haga Palace , formerly known as the
Queen's Pavilion , is located in the
Haga Park,
Solna Municipality in
Metropolitan Stockholm,
Sweden. The palace, built in 18021805, was modelled after ballet-master Gallodiers Italian villa in
Drottningholm by architect
Carl Christoffer Gjörwell on appointment by
King Gustaf IV Adolf for the royal children. It has been the home or summerhouse for several members of the Swedish royal family – most notably it was the birthplace of the present
King – until 1966 when
King Gustaf VI Adolf transferred its disposal to the government and it was turned into a guesthouse for distinguished foreign official visitors. In 2009, it was announced by
Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt that the rights of disposal to the palace will be transferred back to the royal court to be used by
Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, and her husband,
Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland, as a wedding gift in 2010. They moved into Haga Palace after their wedding on 19 June.
