Drottningholm Palace

The Swedish royal family's private house is Drottningholm Palace. Drottningholm is located near Stockholm. It is one of Sweden's Royal Palaces and is located on the island of Lovön (in the municipality of Ekerö, Stockholm County). It was erected in the late 16th century and functioned as the Swedish royal court's summer retreat throughout the majority of the 18th century. The palace is a renowned tourist attraction in addition to being the private residence of the Swedish royal family. Drottningholm Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has stood tall and strong since the 17th century and has been home to generations of royals.

The palace, which features a French architectural design, is majestic and big on the outside and vast and exquisite on the inside—truly appropriate for kings and queens. The present royal family came in in 1981 and has remained since. The castle and park are mainly available to tourists, with the exclusion of the royal chambers. Over the last 400 years, the palace and its gardens have undergone several repairs, modifications, and expansions. Between 1907 and 1913, the most extensive refurbishment took place, during which electricity, heating, sewage, and water systems were built or renovated, and the castle roof was replaced. Several significant portions of the palace were repaired and renovated during a 20-year period beginning about 1977.
