The building has been a state building monument since 1935 and is counted as Stockholm's first palace in Roman Mannerism and as one of de la Vallées and also of the most significant and well-preserved works of Swedish architecture, above all in terms of the street facades.[1] The palace is managed by the Swedish Property Agency (SFV), and since 1918 has been connected with the adjacent Beijer house.
