This is the Royal Castle (Kungliga Slottet) in "Old Town" (Gamla Stan) Stockholm located on City Island (Stadsholmen).
When you first enter the Castle you are in the church. Here are a couple pictures of that entrance. Unfortunately, this is the only indoor location that we were permitted to take pictures.
The Swedish flag flies high above the Castle as can be seen from this Courtyard picture.
The castle is guarded by the Royal Guards (Högvakten). We missed the Changing of the Guard ceremony, but hope to go back on Friday to see that. Despite that we did get to see this performance by the guards at the top of the hour.
Despite this not being the official Changing of the Guard, these guards did infact change.
