Sparreska Palatset

Palace
Riksrådet Per Sparre fick tomten av drottning Kristina 1635. Det var en försoningsgåva för att Karl IX låtit avrätta Sparres far i Linköpings blod bad. Palatset utformades som ett modernt litet franskt lantslott med en stor terrass ut mot Riddarfjärden. De grönfärgade fönstren omgavs av målade band som liknade huggen sten. Det gav ett påkostat intryck, tillsammans med de dekorativa ankarslutarna i järn, som du ser här äni dag.
Sparreska palatset fick en helt ny funktion när David von Schultzenheim köpte det 1763. Han var professor i förlossningskonst och inrättade ett barnbördshus med tio sängar i bottenvâningen 1775. Det var ursprunget till Allmänna BB. Staten köpte huset 1776 och Amiralitetskollegiet hade kontor här i nära 150 år. Sedan flyttade Riksrevisionsverket in och stannade till 1967, då Kammarätten expanderade från sitt hus här till höger.
Under årens lopp har palatset både byggts om och till. På Sparres tid var det en våning lägre än i dag. Taket var valmat, med takfall åt fyra sidor, och försett med takkupor. Palatset har genomgått flera grundliga renoveringar, den senaste

The Supreme Administrative Court is today sited in the former palace of Per Sparre, built in 1647. The entrances are restored and the palace façade returned to its original colour.
Queen Kristina gave the land to Per Sparre, Member of the Privy Council, in 1635. The palace was built in the style of a small French country chateau with a large terrace facing Riddarfjärden, green windows set in what resembled cut stone and girder anchors of iron, giving it a lavish appearance.
Professor David von Schultzenheim bought the palace in 1763. In 1775, it became the first Public Maternity Hospital (BB). The Crown bought the palace in 1776 and the Board of Admiralty then used it for nearly 150 years. The Swedish National Audit Office used it until 1967 when the Administrative Court moved in.
Sparreska Palace has undergone many restorations. In
Erik Sparre's days, it was one floor lower than now. The
latest restoration finished in 2011. 250 windows were
renovated and rotten hardwood replaced with wood from
slow growing pines in Tärendö, Norrbotten.
