Steninge Palace

Steninge Palace

Steninge Palace (also known as Steninge Manor) is a Baroque palace by Lake Mälaren near Märsta outside of Stockholm, Sweden.

Built 1694-1698 to the design of architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger, the palace is directly inspired by Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte in France, and has a reputation in Sweden as one of the most elegant examples of Baroque mansions.

The estate has a history dating back to the 13th century and has seen many owners, but two families have strongly influenced the premises: those of Carl Gyllenstierna (1649-1735) and Axel von Fersen (1736-1839).

Today the palace is privately owned by a company which keeps it accessible for visitors: Steninge Palace Cultural Centre.
