Karlberg Palace, located on the shores of the channel, which is on the outskirts of Stockholm, is the oldest in the municipality of Solna. The Palace, built in 1630, today is the Military Academy of Karlberg.

In the Park of the Palace are, among others, the Temple of Diana (originally dedicated to Neptune) and the burial place of the Pump, the dogs of king Charles XII. Despite the fact that the Palace remains a military establishment, the Park accessible to the public and open daily from 6 am to 10 PM.

Lord-Admiral Karl Karlsson Ullenhall (1574 – 1650, bought three neighbouring villages in the area and combined them into an estate called "Carlberg". Widow Ullenhall died six years after her husband's death, and this led to prolonged litigation over the inheritance. In the mid-1660-ies of the planned transfer of the Palace is the property of the widowed Queen hedwige Eleanor was canceled because Admiral Lord Magnus Gabriel de La Gardie ( 1622-gg.) sold her one of his palaces (ulriksdal Palace in Solna), and he bought Karlberg.

De La Gardie, at the time one of the most influential people in Sweden, commissioned Jean de La vallée (1620-gg.) to turn the Palace into one of the largest in Sweden. The new Palace was H-shaped, in line with latest fashion trends. In addition, the East wing was built the Church. The Park has also been improved - there were greenhouses, ponds, fountains, flower beds - all in the style of the French Baroque.

After reduction de La Gardie has lost its influence and the greater part of his fortune, as well as king Charles XI refused to buy a Palace, de La Gardie was forced to hand him over to Johan Gabriel Stenbock in payment of debts. However Stenbock bought a newly rebuilt Palace with a view to its subsequent sale to the king. That is why the crown Prince Karl XII held in Karlberg most of his childhood. When Karl XII died in 1718, his coffin was taken first to Karlberg before the funeral in Riddarholm Church.

In 1766 Karlberg was donated to the wedding of king Gustav III (1746-1792 he.) and Sophia Magdalena (1743-gg.). In the early 1790s, Gustav had plans to establish a military Academy in the ulriksdal Palace, which were interrupted by his death in 1792. His widow chose Ulriksdal as a private mansion, and a military Academy located in Karlberg.
