EVENEMANG
THE HISTORY
Every year, thousands of visitors come to Sofiero to enjoy the flowering beauty, the royal tradition and the wonderful view towards the Sound. But how did it all start? In 1864, Prince Oscar and his wife Sophie purchased the Skabelycke estate, just north of Helsingborg, so they could build their summer palace, ‘Sophie-Ro.’ The palace existed already but had a different appearance than today; among other things it had only one floor. Ten years later, when Oscar became king the palace underwent significant renovations to appear as it does today. THE HISTORY
