Boneau Palace (Stockholm)

 museum, listed building / architectural heritage

The merchantman Honoré Boneau had this Palace built in 1675, however allready in 1698 he sold the Palace to the Funck family and the Palace was renamed the Funck Palace. They didn't own it for long and very soon sold it to the Bååth family and again the Palace was renamed, this time to the Bååth Palace. The last name can be confusing since there is a Bååth Palace at Blasieholmen in Stockholm as well, but now you know its not the same Palace.
In 1780 the Palace is bought by the Shoemaker guild to be used as their secretariat. They also added one floor to the Palace which is very visible if you look at the Palace from the front. The top floor has distinct separation from the two floors beneath. A part of the Palace was also rented to the Over-Governor office. In the 1906 the City Council bought the Palace to be used for the Over-Governor office that had expanded and needed more space.
Today is most of the Palace used by the Royal Coin Cabinet
