Strömsholm Palace Chapel
The chapel at Strömsholm Palace is housed in the garrets of the palace and the sacristy is located in one of the four palace towers. A palace chapel was already planned in Nicodemus Tessin the Elder's drawings from 1668. However, it was not realized until the 1730's when Carl Hårleman was commissioned by Queen Ulrika Eleonora the Younger to complete a chapel on the third floor of the palace.
