Tre Kronor (Three Crowns) was a castle located in Stockholm, Sweden. It is believed to have been a citadel that Birger jarl built into a royal castle in the middle of the 13th century. The main tower may have existed previous to this, but in a much smaller form than on the pictures from the beginning and end of the 16th century and from the 17th century. The tower was then about the half of the height in the end of the 16th century.

  • Tre Kronor (Three Crowns) was a castle located in Stockholm, Sweden. It is believed to have been a citadel that Birger jarl built into a royal castle in the middle of the 13th century. The main tower may have existed previous to this, but in a much smaller form than on the pictures from the beginning and end of the 16th century and from the 17th century. The tower was then about the half of the height in the end of the 16th century. The castle consisted of two parts, the main castle (högborgen) and the walled in gardens surrounding it (ekonomigården) with the high tower in the middle. The name "Tre Kronor" is believed to have been given to the castle during the reign of king Magnus Eriksson in the middle of the 14th century. When king Gustav Vasa broke Sweden free from the Kalmar Union (a series of personal unions between Denmark, Sweden and Norway since 1397) and made Sweden independent the Tre Kronor castle became the most important royal castle. This was the first time since it was built that it became the de facto royal castle for the independent country of Sweden. Gustav Vasa expanded the castle's defensive measures, while John III of Sweden later rebuilt and expanded the estetics of the castle, turning it into a renaissance style castle and added a castle church.
  • Die Burg Tre Kronor war eine Burganlage, die Birger Jarl in der Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts im Zentrum von Stockholm anlegen ließ. Sie stand an der Stelle, an der sich heute das Stockholmer Schloss befindet und bestand aus einer Hochburg und einem mauerbewehrten Wirtschaftshof. Der Name Tre Kronor (Drei Kronen) stammt wahrscheinlich aus der Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts, als Magnus II. herrschte. Nachdem Gustav Wasa 1521 Schweden aus der Kalmarer Union ausgelöst hatte, machte er die Burg zum königlichen Hauptsitz und ließ sie mit weiteren Verteidigungsanlagen versehen. Unter seinem Sohn Johann III. wurde die Burg zu einem Renaissanceschloss mit Schlosskirche umgebaut. Am 7. Mai/ 17. Mai 1697 wurde die Burg bei einem verheerenden Brand fast vollständig zerstört. Der Architekt Nicodemus Tessin d. J. , der schon kurz zuvor einige Veränderungen am alten Schloss vorgenommen hatte, bekam den Auftrag an derselben Stelle das neue Stockholmer Schloss zu errichten.
  • O Slottet Tre Kronor foi um palácio real da Suécia localizado em Estocolmo, no local onde se situa o actual Palácio Real de Estocolmo. Acredita-se que se trate duma cidadela que Birger Jarl elevou a castelo real em meados do século XIII.
  • Borgen eller Slottet Tre Kronor var en försvarsanläggning och kungligt residens uppfört av Birger jarl på Stadsholmen i Stockholm vid 1200-talets mitt. Byggnaderna förstördes i Slottsbranden 1697, och på platsen uppfördes det nuvarande Stockholms slott.
