Ulriksdal Palace in Solna was first built by Hans Jacob Kristler from 1638 to 1645 for Jacob De la Gardie as a country retreat called Jakobsdal. The infobox and text agree on those dates. The text adds that Nicodemus Tessin the Elder's designs began in the 1670s, stalled around 1690 and resumed in the 1720s, when Carl Hårleman added one of Sweden's first mansard roofs. Nicodemus Tessin the Younger designed the Orangery, and Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander designed the chapel of 1864 to 1865.
The infobox lists Baroque. The article names no materials or dimensions.
Queen Hedvig Eleonora bought it in 1669 and renamed it Ulriksdal in 1684. It served as a veterans' hospital from 1822 to 1849, and Charles XV used it as a summer residence. It has been open to the public since 1986. The infobox lists RoyalCourt.se as the website, and the text links to kungligaslotten.se. The article gives no hours.
