Steninge

Steninge is a locality in Sigtuna Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden. It lies on the northern shore of Lake Mälaren, north of Stockholm, and is part of the Stockholm metropolitan area. The area is best known for Steninge Palace (Steninge Slott), a Baroque-era residence built in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The palace is widely regarded as one of Sweden’s finest examples of Baroque architecture, and it sits within a surrounding landscaped park that reflects contemporary European garden design.

The estate has a long history dating back to earlier medieval times, when a manor stood on the site. Over the centuries it has passed through several noble owners and served various functions, including as a residence and a venue for state and private use. The grounds include formal gardens and parkland that complement the architectural significance of the palace.

Today, Steninge Palace functions as a cultural venue and historic site. The palace and its grounds host exhibitions, conferences, and private events, and portions of the estate are accessible to the public at designated times. The site remains a prominent regional landmark, reflecting both the architectural heritage of the Swedish Baroque period and the ongoing adaptation of historic estates for contemporary use.
