Tullgarn was built in the 1720s and became a summer place for the royal family, first under Gustav IV Adolf and then, most consequentially, under Gustav V and Victoria, who used it heavily from the 1880s. The interiors are largely theirs - late nineteenth-century rooms with the furniture, photographs and hunting trophies in place, which makes it a more domestic building than the state palaces. The park runs down to a bay of the Baltic with an English landscape section, and there is a small farm and a cafe. It is one of the quieter royal properties and stays open only through high summer.

What you actually see

  • A 1720s house with 1880s interiors - as Gustav V and Victoria used it.
  • Domestic rooms - photographs, furniture and trophies in place.
  • A park down to a Baltic bay - with an English landscape section.
  • A small farm and cafe - the rest of the estate.

When to go

June to August, the only reliable opening. Two hours.

Honest expectations

The season is very short and interiors may be tour-only. There is no useful public transport. Facilities are limited outside the cafe. The palace is modest next to Drottningholm.

Nearby

Trosa is south; Sodertalje is north.
