Wrangel Palace on Riddarholmen in Stockholm was rebuilt and expanded from 1652 to 1670 by Nicodemus Tessin the Elder for Count Carl Gustaf Wrangel. The infobox gives a start in 1530 and completion in 1802, but the text ties the 1530s work only to Gustav Vasa's fortifications. The southern tower dates from those defenses. Around 1630 the building was converted into a palace for Lars Sparre. The text names no style, materials or dimensions.
A fire in 1693 led to a rebuild as a royal residence, after the Tre Kronor palace was left in ruins in 1697. From 1697 to 1754 it was the official Stockholm residence of the royal family, called Kungshuset.
Another fire struck in 1802, and C. G. Gjörwell led the rebuild. The Svea Court of Appeal has been housed here since 1756. The article gives no hours.
