Drottningholm Palace

Drottningholm Palace is on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. It is one of the most well-preserved royal castles; built in the 1600s in Stockholm, Sweden and at the same time is representative of all European architecture for the period.

The Palace is Their Majesties the King and Queen’s permanent home residence. The rooms in the southern wing of the palace are reserved for this purpose. The rest of the palace and grounds are open to the public year round. I questioned our guide about the living quarters of the royalty and she stated that their “wing” of the palace was like the parts we toured. She stated they were able to make “upgrades” to their wing but could not change the structure or architecture, adding that mostly thy have added conveniences such as TV and WIFI.
