The Royal Carriages

Down in the depths of the magical vaults of the Royal Armoury, five magnificent royal carriages have been preserved. During spring 2021, the carriage hall was updated with new artefacts and stories. Come and experience these gilded wonders!

Opening hours

The carriage hall has the same opening hours as the museum.

Spectacular ceremonies

One of the most spectacular ceremonies in Swedish history was the coronation of Adolf Fredrik and Louisa Ulrika in 1751. Their costumes and artefacts are presented in a display case next to the coronation carriage.

A Queen’s Journey

Many of the carriages in the carriage hall have links to accounts of women from the 18th century. In the new film “A Queen’s Journey”, we interweave Sofia Magdalena’s exciting life with the preserved state coaches.
