Rosersberg Palace near Stockholm was built by the Oxenstierna family, with Gabriel Bengtsson Oxenstierna as the builder and his son Bengt remodeling it. The architect of the original building is not named. The infobox and text agree that construction ran from 1634 to 1638. Nicodemus Tessin the Younger led the late 17th-century Baroque remodel, and Jean Eric Rehn modernized the palace in 1747.

The article describes a Renaissance building that became Baroque and then late Gustavian, with Empire-style interiors from Charles XIII. It names no materials or building dimensions. The lead says the palace became royal in 1762, but the body says the state acquired it in 1757 and gave it to Duke Charles.

An infantry gunnery school used it from 1874 to 1961, followed by the Civil Defence Board and, from 1986 to 2006, the Rescue Services Agency. The article gives no hours.
