Introduction

Located at Lake Mälaren in Stockholm County, Sweden, Drottningholm Palace dates back to the 16th century and was rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1661. Since 1981, it has served as a private residence for the Swedish royal family but also has some rooms and collections open to public. The palace was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is one of the most representative castles of European court architecture, exuding a unique and exotic charm. The Chinese Pavilion, Palace Theatre, and magnificent palace gardens add to the palace's allure.
