I think it will go to Victoria, since its tradition that the monarch(?!) lives there.
Just like the King owns it today instead of his older sisters

I wonder, if Solliden is registered in the land charge register as "castle"??...to me it looks more like a big country house or a Villa...

I agree. But the "officiall" name is Sollidens slott (Solliden castle/palace)
But maybe it would be more right to call it a mansion or something like that...

It does look like a villa. Kind of like La Zarzuela Palace which used to be a hunting lodge and looks more like a villa than a palace.

imo, too bad its not at the north or south end of Gotland .... imagine the secludedness, the wide expanse of beach and hinterland, the waves lapping and conflicting as does the wind.

BTW how big is the land called Solliden ? How many hectares?
And is it fenced off from other properties on the land side?

Yes it is... and parts of the garden are private and the visitors are not allowed to go there.

Contrary to the Norwegian Royal Family which lives in a smaller country - population wise - why is it that the Swedish Royal Family has
- no royal ship?
- way more in Royal Residences provided by the State than I believe any other country in Europe?
- correspondingly way less in the way of private residences then their Norwegian brethern?

Which is your favorite Residence?
Which room is your fave, and how come ?
Which view is your favorite?

How come most of the Royal Residences are along the edge of Lake Malaren ? That mystifies me. I would have thought to solidify the kingdom, there would be royal residences all over the country?

Strömsholms Slott

I'd say this is my favourite .... nice little moat all the way around.

If only some-one could remove the main road ....
