Here you will find a beautiful 17th-century castle, a historic park, a runestone, a royal dog grave and several traces of Sweden&#039;s military history. For us, Karlberg is also part of everyday life - we live on a houseboat in Pampas marina nearby and often walk past.<\/p><div class=\"sharethis-buttons\"><div class=\"st-custom-button\"

The castle park, however, is normally accessible to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-byggnad.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-byggnad-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Karlbergs slott\" class=\"wp-image-99298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-byggnad-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-byggnad-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-byggnad-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-byggnad-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-byggnad-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-byggnad-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-byggnad.jpg 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Karlberg Castle seen from the back, from Karlberg Castle Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Karlbergs_slottspark_%E2%80%93_fran_barockpark_till_promenadomrade\"><\/span>Karlberg Castle Park \u2013 from Baroque park to walking area<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A magnificent park was laid out at Karlberg as early as the 17th century. It was designed using French Baroque gardens as a model, with straight axes, plantings and a clear symmetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the late 18th century, parts of the area took on a freer character, inspired by the English landscape park. In the 1780s, the architect Fredrik Magnus Piper was commissioned to change parts of the park and the previously strict park landscape was supplemented with softer and more romantic elements. However, some of the straight Baroque road system still remains today.<\/p><div class=\"freed-stor-banner-plats-14 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-4042315237\"><div id=\"freed-slider-88782\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-3190177840 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-2145515067\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale 588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1048920476\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/husvagnar\/alpina\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-XL-588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider3190177840 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-3190177840\" );$freedslider3190177840.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" );

Here are some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Charles XII oak<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the park is the old so-called Karl XII oak. According to tradition, the future Karl XII is said to have played by the oak together with his sisters Hedvig Sofia and Ulrika Eleonora when they were children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The story is a tradition rather than something we can know for sure, but the oak is another reminder of Karlberg&#039;s long royal history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ek.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ek-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Karl XII:s ek\" class=\"wp-image-99290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ek-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ek-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ek-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ek-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ek-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ek.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Runestone U 124<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even older history can be found at the runestone U 124. It was erected during the Viking Age and the inscription tells of a stone that Anund and Torgils had erected after \u00c5sg\u00f6t. The stone does not stand in its original place but was moved to Karlbergsparken during the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#039;s quite fascinating to walk around among buildings and monuments from the past few centuries and suddenly stand in front of a runestone that is about a thousand years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Runsten.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Runsten-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Runsten i Karlbergs slottspark i Stockholm\" class=\"wp-image-99291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Runsten-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Runsten-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Runsten-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Runsten-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Runsten-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Runsten.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gravity pumps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the park&#039;s more unusual attractions is Pompe&#039;s grave. Pompe was the name of Charles XII&#039;s dog \u2013 or rather dogs. The king is said to have had three dogs, all named Pompe. The first died on Karlberg in 1699 and was buried here. Pompe number two died in Poland in 1703 and the third in Hungary in 1714.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amidst all the grand royal and military history, the small dog grave feels like an unexpected and rather charming feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pompes-grav.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pompes-grav-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Pompes grav i Karlbergs slottspark i Stockholm\" class=\"wp-image-99293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pompes-grav-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pompes-grav-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pompes-grav-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pompes-grav-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pompes-grav-433x243.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pompes-grav.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Temple of Neptunii \u2013 or Temple of Diana<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of our personal favorites in Karlberg Castle Park is the small classicist temple that is usually called both the Temple of Neptune and the Temple of Diana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The temple was built in the early 1790s and designed by architect Carl Christoffer Gj\u00f6rwell. It was built on a raised terrace in the castle park and was originally called Neptunii Temple.

It&#039;s the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We usually go here to get some exercise and get outside for a while. Sometimes it&#039;s a brisk walk, sometimes a jog, and sometimes we stop to look at something, take photos, or just enjoy the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Karlbergs slottspark\" class=\"wp-image-99296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken-433x243.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karlbergsparken.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And perhaps it is precisely the combination that makes Karlberg special. One moment you pass a magnificent 17th-century castle, the next a thousand-year-old runestone or a royal dog grave, and soon after you find yourself among trees, squirrels and rabbits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a lot of nature and history in a relatively small area \u2013 and surprisingly quiet considering how close you are to Stockholm&#039;s city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/spar-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-130297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/spar-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/spar-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/spar-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/spar-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/spar-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/spar.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Varfor_heter_Pampas_marina_%E2%80%9DPampas%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Why is the Pampas marina called \u201dPampas\u201d?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For us, there is also another connection between Karlberg and the place where we live. Pampas marina is located west of Karlberg Castle, at the mouth of the Karlberg Canal towards Lake Ulvsunda. The name Pampas was used long before today&#039;s marina existed and was a name for the open training area at Karlberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name is believed to have originated among the cadets, who called the training field Pampas \u2013 likely in allusion to the large open pampas plains in South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#039;s a bit funny to think about when we walk home from Karlberg. The name of the place where our houseboat is located most likely has its origins in the military activities at the castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2020\/04\/pampas-marina-i-solna\/\">Pampas marina in Solna - all you need to know<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pampas-marina-Stockholm-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"G\u00f6ra i Solna - Pampas marina\" class=\"wp-image-56505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pampas-marina-Stockholm-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pampas-marina-Stockholm-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pampas-marina-Stockholm-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pampas-marina-Stockholm-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pampas-marina-Stockholm-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pampas Marina is located not far from Karlberg Castle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container faktaruta uagb-block-aafbe901 default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Besoka_Karlbergs_slottspark_%E2%80%93_bra_att_veta\"><\/span>Visiting Karlberg Castle Park \u2013 good to know<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is Karlberg Castle and Castle Park located?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karlberg Castle is located in Solna municipality, right next to the border with Stockholm and close to both Vasastan and Kungsholmen. The address of the Karlberg Military Academy is Karlbergs slottsv\u00e4g 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Karlberg Castle Park open to the public?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The area is fenced and the gates are normally open every day from 6 am to 10 pm. At that time, the park and the exercise tracks are available to the public for exercise and recreation. Since Karlberg is a military area, it can also be closed during the day when operations require it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you visit Karlberg Castle?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, not as a regular tourist. The castle is a workplace and military protected object and the public does not have access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you get to Karlberg Castle Park?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is easy to walk here from, for example, Vasastan or Kungsholmen. If you are coming by public transport, there are several options in the area, and it is wise to check the current route before your visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bra_att_veta_under_2026\"><\/span>Good to know in 2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extensive construction and renovation work is currently underway in the Karlberg area. Among other things, a new dining hall is being built while older buildings are being renovated. The palace&#039;s facade and windows are also being renovated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the construction period, walkways may be rerouted and parts of the area may be closed.
