Axel Oxenstierna palace is a Romanesque architecture style building situated in the Old Town of Stockholm, Sweden.
Designed by the architect Jean de la Vallée (ca 1620–1696) for Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna (1583 – 1654) and began construction in 1653. The palace became the headquarters of the Swedish Central Bank for 1668 to 1680.
The palace is well conserved in particular with regard to the exterior. The building also has a well-preserved interior with basically an original floor plan. The building has been a state monument since 1935. The facade was renovated in 2013 by the Swedish Property Agency. An earlier refurbishment of the premises was carried out in 1993–94.

Kungsträdgården (Swedish for "King's Garden") is a park in central Stockholm, Sweden. It is colloquially known as Kungsan.
The park's central location and its outdoor cafés makes it one of the most popular hangouts and meeting places in Stockholm. It also hosts open-air concerts and events in summer, while offering an ice rink during winters. There is also a number of cafés, art galleries and restaurants.
The park is divided into four distinct spaces (south to north): (1) Square of Charles XII; (2) Molin's Fountain; (3); Square of Charles XIII and (4) "Fountain of Wolodarski" (which does not have an official name). The park is administered and events in it organized by the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.
