My Stockholm visit! This picture is of the Official Resident of the King and Queen. Yeah, I know HOW COOL! The castle was designed by Nichodemus Tessin, it is based from and Italian Baroque, this castle was completed in 1754, it is partly built on the remains of the former Tre Kronor (3 crowns) Castle which was destroyed by fire in 1697. The interiors of the castle can date back to the 18th and 19th century. This castle has exactly 610 rooms, and is one of the worlds largest Royal Palaces.
This was the sight of the Stockholm Bloodbath. The Bloodbath was a brutal fight between the Swedes and Danes. It took place on November 7 to November 10 in 1520, there were almost 100 people that were killed. On the night of November 7th the events of the bloodbath started. Danish soldiers with lanterns and torches, entered the great hall of the royal palace and took many noble guests. Later in that night many of the King's guests were imprisoned. For the next few days after that there were many killings. This sight is called Stortorget which is located by the Old Town (which by the way was very beautiful) Behind the monument you can see are great buildings, actually the colors of the buildings stand for the different people that were killed, and on the red building are 82 while limestone plates, that stand for each severed head. There is a legend that says between November 7th to the 10th you can see shadowy figures haunting around the area. This was defiantly one of the most interesting places I went to!
This was a museum of Royal Stables, it also had the wedding dresses of the four daughters of Prince Gustav Adolf. These stables date back to the 19th century. This is one of the oldest carriage, the Coronation Coach, it is from France, and was actually made in the 16th century! It was for King Karl XV.
This is a picture of Sweden's Riksdag, its the nations legislative assembly of Sweden. Which is like our government. It is where all the decisions in Sweden are made.
This is the Great Bedchamber, for the last King of Sweden. I was really not suppose to be taking these pictures, ( which later I got told) but it was totally worth it, to have these great pictures, and I hope you enjoy it too! This was a very interesting room, and they had great art pieces which most art was done by Jonas Forsslund. My favorite part of this room was the sculptures on the 4 corners of the ceiling, which showed greed, stupidity, jealousy, and gluttony.
