Prince Eugene's apartment with his art collection and some of his paintings can be visited. In the garden surrounding his apartment and on his terrace you can find several statues made by important Swedish sculptors including Per Hasselberg, Bror Hjort, Ivar Johansson and others. Next to the yellow house (“gula huset”) from the 18th century is the prince's tomb. Additionally, the property contained two wind mills (saw mill and oil mill), however the saw mill burned down in the middle of the 19th century. The other mill, the oil mill is still there and was a favorite motif of the prince.

Waldemarsudde or Prince Eugene's Waldemarsudde (Swedish udde "cape, headland") is the southernmost part of the Stockholm peninsula Djurgården (Swedish for "zoo") with Prince Eugene's villa of the same name on it. The building is now a state art and open-air museum with Frisens Park recreation park.

Prince Eugene's apartment, his art collection and paintings he made can be visited. In the garden and on the terrace there are several statues made by important Swedish sculptors (Per Hasselberg, Bror Hjort, Ivar Johansson and others). The prince's grave is located near the shore behind an 18th-century house that became known as Gula huset ("Yellow House") and is now called Gamla huset ("Old House"). Two windmills of Dutch design with a codend had stood nearby since the 1780s: the five-storey linseed oil mill (Swedish: oljekvarn, linoljakvarn) with an eight-sided cap, which was built in 1784 by Johan Diderick Lundholm, produced linseed oil until 1830 and still exists today (without a wing cross), and the wind sawmill (Swedish: vädersågskvarn), which burned down in 1840 along with all its outbuildings. The oil mill, which he had restored at the beginning of the 20th century, was a favorite motif of the prince.
