The Palace is built in roman barogue style by Nicodemus Tessin in 1697, until 1755 it was owned by the Family Tessin but then King Adolf Fredrik bought it on behalf of his son Karl (King Karl XIII). In 1773 the Palace is sold again and this time the buyer is the City Council and it will be used by the Over-Governor as his private residence.
The Over-Governor of Stockholm was the highest officer in the public administration of the City between 1634 - 1967. In 1967 the office was disbanded and replaced by the office of the County Governor which exisits today and continues to use the Palace as his/hers Private Residence.
