Swedish Prince Eugen fell in love with this particular bit of land full of centuries-old oak trees and had architect Ferdinand Boberg build him a house here. He was a painter and after his death the house was converted into an art museum for his works as well as some other painters. The Art Nouveau interior is fetchingly and lavishly appointed, making the best use of natural light. As for the fine art, itself, it took the prince over 60 years to collect all this excellent Nordic art, with a lot of focus on the early late 19th and 20th century painters. The Prince himself has roughly 3200 paintings of his own here.

It’s a beautiful complex comprised of the parklands, flower and sculpture gardens, a 17th century linseed oil mill (Waldemarsuddes oljekvarn), the Prince’s botanical nursery (Tradgardsmasteriet Prins Eugens Valdemarsudde), the stables, the garage, an old boathouse and an old manor in addition to the museum building. Also, visit the popular attractions in the city by following Stockholm Itinerary 2 Days.
