About

Sofiero Palace stands as a testament to Sweden's royal heritage in the heart of Scania, just 5 km north of Helsingborg. Originally a 19th‑century country residence of King Oscar II, the palace has been lovingly preserved and now welcomes visitors with its grand architecture and the world‑renowned rhododendron gardens that showcase nearly 500 varieties. During the open season from March to September, guests stroll through lush lawns by the Öresund coast, explore the historic palace interiors, dine in the on‑site restaurant, and enjoy summer concerts on the expansive grass lawns featuring renowned international acts.
