Drottingholm Palace is located in the town of Drottningholm, on the island Lovön (Ekerö Municipality, Stockholm County).
It is one of the royal palaces of the royal family erected in 1662 from a design Nikodemus Tessin father and inhabited by the royal family since 1981.
In its interior we Hedvig Eleonora chamber and rococo Bilbioteca Queen Lovisa Ulrika and abroad, no doubt, impressive garden and the park surrounding the palace is an example of both the art of French Baroque garden and the English romantic.
On the outside we can find the theater and Chinese palace.
All facilities, including the latter are included in the list of World Heritage of UNESCO.

Beautiful garden view from the palace of Drottningholm:

A few snapshots of the beautiful Drottningholm Palace:

And finally the Chinese Palace, well more than Palace, a mansion, but first some history, right?:

Technically the Chinese Palace was built in secret by King Adolf Fredrik and it was a surprise birthday present for his wife, Lovisa Ulrika's in 1753. But ...... can anyone not realize that you are building a palace next to where you live?, Lol, never know. It has subsequently undergone many restorations over the period 1989-1996 and currently can be visited as it was originally almost, but certainly, the palace gives many turns, but hey, since you, it costs nothing to visit. It must be said that the choice must be done to get the ticket to visit the palace of Drottiningholm, as the price varies if you see only the palace, or Chinese palace palace. And now I leave you with photos:

obviously, the best of Chinese palace was the question "but as ~~hell~~ did not realize you were building a palace?!?!? thought it was perhaps the doghouse? "

I like the photos, makes you want to take the suitcase and go there to see everything.

This is the last straw. As doghouse is not bad. I agree with Michael, the great pictures.
