History
Designed by the architect Jean de la Vallée (ca 1620–1696) for Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna (1583 – 1654) and began construction in 1653. The palace became the headquarters for the 1668-1680 Swedish Central Bank.[1] [3][4]
The palace is well conserved in particular with regard to the exterior. The building also has a well-preserved interior with basically an original floor plan. The building has been a state monument since 1935. The facade was renovated in 2013 by the Swedish Property Agency. An earlier refurbishment of the premises was carried out in 1993–94.
