1 of 13 photos from Sofiero Palace (5)

Flowers and plants at Sofiero Palace. The construction of Sofiero Palace started in 1865 and was completed in 1866.

Oscar and Sofia´s summer residence had originally only 1 floor, a cellar and an attic.

When Oscar and Sofia in 1872 became king and queen of Sweden and Norway their representation requirements increased and in 1874-75 a second floor was added.

The name Sofiero comes from queen Sofia who called herself Sophie. The Swedish name for “calm” is “ro” = Sofie Ro.
