Haga Palace has been Crown Princess Victoria's and Prince Daniel's residence since 2010. The palace is beautifully situated in Haga Park north of Stockholm and has a living area of 1,550 square meters with 25 rooms.
The palace was originally built 1802-1805 for King Gustav IV Adolf. It was previously called the Queen's Pavilion and is a listed state building. The building represents the elegant neoclassical style that was popular around the turn of the century.
King Carl XVI Gustaf and his sisters, known as the "Haga Princesses", were all born at Haga Palace. After World War I, the palace stood empty for a period, before the ducal couple Gustaf Adolf and Sibylla moved in in 1932 after extensive renovation. Here the current King grew up together with his sisters.
At Crown Princess Victoria's and Daniel Westling's wedding in 2010, the palace was given as a gift from the government. The Crown Princess has stated that it feels special that the family is back at Haga, and that she feels closer to her grandmother and grandfather.
