The first building on the site was a 13th century fortress that grew into Tre Kronor Palace. In the late 16th century, work transformed it into a Renaissance style palace. In 1690, it was decided to rebuild in Baroque style after a fire destroyed much of it in 1697. Reconstruction and additions continued for over 60 more years, with the royal family moving in once the southwest, southeast, and northeast wings were finished in the 1740s. Today the palace is guarded by the royal guard Högvakten, which dates back to the early 16th century.

2.  The first building on this site was a fortress with a core tower built in the 13th century by
Birger Jarl to defend Lake Mälaren. The fortress grew to a palace, named Tre Kronor
("Three Crowns") after the core towers' spire.
 In the late 16th century, much work was done to transform the old fortress into a
Renaissance-style palace under King John III. In 1690, it was decided to rebuild the palace
in Baroque style after a design by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. In 1692, work began on
the northern row. It was complete in 1697, but much of the palace was destroyed in a fire
on May 7, 1697.
 Tessin rebuilt the damaged palace, and work continued for another 63 years. Half-round
wings around the outer western courtyard were finished in 1734, the palace church was
finished in the 1740s, and the exterior was finished in 1754. The royal family moved to the
palace with the southwest, southeast, and northeast wings finished. The northwest wing
was finished in 1760. In the north, the Lejonbacken ("Lion's Slope") was rebuilt from 1824
to 1830. Its name comes from the Medici lions-inspired sculptures that stand there.
 The palace is guarded by the Högvakten, a royal guard of members of the Swedish Armed
Forces. The guard dates back to the early 16th century.
