Karlberg Palace (Swedish: [kaɭˈbærj])[2] is a palace by the Karlberg Canal in Solna Municipality in Sweden, adjacent to Stockholm's Vasastaden district. The palace, built in 1630,[3] today houses the Military Academy Karlberg.
In the palace park are found, among other things, a "temple of Diana" (originally dedicated to Neptune)[1] and the burial site of Pompe, the dog of King Charles XII.
Notwithstanding that the palace remains a military institution, the palace park is accessible to the public and is open daily between 6 AM and 10 PM.[4]
