Sight 4: Morianerna
Morianbron is a small bridge in the gardens of the Ulriksdal Palace in Solna, Sweden, named after the pair of sculptures of so-called blackamoors standing by the bridge.
Sight 5: Ulkriksdal's Castle
Ulriksdal Palace is a royal palace situated on the banks of the Edsviken in the Royal National City Park in Solna Municipality, 6 km north of Stockholm. It was originally called Jakobsdal for its owner Jacob De la Gardie, who had it built by architect Hans Jacob Kristler in 1638–1645 as a country retreat. He later passed on to his son, Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie, from whom it was purchased in 1669 by Queen Hedvig Eleonora of Sweden. The present design is mainly the work of architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder and dates from the late 17th century.
Sight 6: Orangerimuseet
The Orangery Museum is a sculpture museum in the Ulriksdal Castle area, Solna Municipality. The building's predecessor was built in the 1660s. The current orangery was added in the early 1700s and was designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. In 1988, King Carl XVI Gustaf decided to let the orangery as a sculpture museum. The Orangery is open during the summer months for guided tours.
