Designed by Erik Palmstedt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Palmstedt), the palace was originally the private residence of Princess Sophia Albertina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Sophia_Albertine_of_Sweden). It was built 1783-1794 and declared a historical monument (byggnadsminne) in 1935 and subsequently restored by Ivar Tengbom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivar_Tengbom) in 1948-52. Since 1906 the palace has served as the seat of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_for_Foreign_Affairs_%28Sweden%29). During the era of the Swedish Empire, Gustav Adolfs torg, the square in front of the palace, was developed into one of the most prominent public spaces in Sweden. It is centred on the equestrian of Gustavus Adolphus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavus_Adolphus_of_Sweden) by Pierre Hubert L'Archevêques (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pierre_Hubert_L%27Archev%C3%AAques&action=edit&redlink=1). This project was based on Tessin the Younger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicodemus_Tessin_the_Younger)'s plans for the rebuilt Royal Palace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_Palace) and its immediate surroundings. East of the square, a new opera building was erected in 1782 (demolished in 1892) and the façade on the western side was designed as a copy of the former, echoing its pilasters and the columns of the accentuated central portion. The entire setting was inspired by the Place de la Concorde (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_de_la_Concorde) in Paris. And like in the French capital, several other aristocrat residences were built in the surrounding area. Some of the grand visions Tessin developed were carried through with the construction of the bridge Norrbro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norrbro), even though the centrepiece in his plans, a royal church on the northern side of the square, remained a dream. A large Renaissance sandstone portico from the original Torestensson Palace on the northern side, was restored in the 20th century, and its present appearance thus reflects the original design of Diedrich Blume (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Diedrich_Blume&action=edit&redlink=1) from 1647. An identical portico is still found on the courtyard.
