Logården

Logården is a garden at the Royal Palace of Stockholm, located facing Skeppsbron and Saltsjön between the castle's south-east and north-eastern wings.

The old castle Tre Kronor also had a similar "farm" but there it was called Lejongården or Leopardgården. According to another interpretation, the name derives from the "lodgården" that was located outside the northeastern part of the Tre Kronor Castle. On the ground floor inside, the artillery had its stores and workshops. The cannonballs, which were called "plumbing", were stored in the plumb yard. Later, the name was corrupted to "Logården".
