Introduction

The Stockholm Palace, also known as the Royal Palace of Sweden, has a long history, originally built as a military fortress. In the late 17th century, it was gradually transformed and expanded into its current state as a palace. Although the Swedish royal family now resides in the Queen's Palace on Drottningholm Island, the Stockholm Palace remains the official residence of the king. Besides the royal residential floors, the palace's other parts also have different uses, such as the Gustav III Museum of Antiquities, the Treasury exhibition hall, the Armory exhibition hall, and the Three Crowns Palace Museum, which have received widespread attention.
