Tyresö Palace, located about 25 kilometers southeast of central Stockholm in Sweden, is a 17th-century castle begun in the 1620s and completed in 1636 by Gabriel Oxenstierna, the Lord High Steward. Originally constructed as a noble residence, the palace was inherited in 1648 by Maria Sofia De la Gardie, whose family's vast wealth across the Baltic allowed her to manage considerable estates from the site until 1694. During the 1770s, the palace underwent modernization and became home to Sweden's first English garden, designed by Fredrik Magnus Piper as an imaginative blend of English parkland, Swedish meadow, and fairy-tale elements set within the ancient forest. In 1892, Papal Marquis Claes Lagergren acquired the palace and commissioned architect Isak Gustaf Clason to rebuild it in the national romantic style, drawing inspiration from original 17th-century drawings. Upon Lagergren's death in 1930, he bequeathed the palace to the Nordic Museum, which continues to own and operate it as a museum open for guided summer tours.
