Arvfurstens palats

Arvfurstens palats (lit. 'Palace of the Hereditary Prince') is a palace located at Gustav Adolfs Torg in central Stockholm. Originally a private residence, it has been the seat of the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 1906.

Designed by Erik Palmstedt, the palace was originally the residence of Princess Sophia Albertina. It was built 1783–1794 and declared a historical monument (byggnadsminne) in 1935 and subsequently restored by Ivar Tengbom in 1948–52.

The palace is facing the square Gustav Adolfs torg, with the Royal Swedish Opera on the opposite side. Located near the palace are the Sager Palace, official residence of the prime minister, and Rosenbad, official office of the government. The bridge Norrbro stretches past the building of the Riksdag on Helgeandsholmen and further south to Stockholm Old Town and the Royal Palace.
