Description: Tyresö Palace is a stately home south of Stockholm, owned by the Nordic Museum. Today it is encircled by urban expansion, yet it dominates the surroundings with its beautiful location at the highest point of a peninsula in the inner archipelago. The present palace was originally built in the 1630s, but the interior that visitors meet today shows what it looked like as a private country residence around 1900. The book tells about the history of the site, of the buildings and parks, and also about owners, servants and visiting artists.
