Tullgarn Palace in Sweden was designed by Joseph Gabriel Destain for Privy Councillor Magnus Julius De la Gardie, according to the text, though the lead says it was built for Duke Fredrik Adolf. The infobox and lead give the 1720s, and the text gives 1720 to 1727, after the old Renaissance castle was demolished in 1719.
The lead calls the style Rococo, Gustavian and Victorian, and Fredrik Adolf added neoclassical modernization, including a flat Italian-style roof. The vestibule walls are covered in hand-painted Dutch tiles. It gives no other materials or dimensions.
The crown acquired it in 1772, and Oscar I used it as the royal summer residence from 1830. Gustaf V's cigar room has stayed largely untouched since his death in 1950. The Swedish government owns it. The article gives no hours.
