After the summer the Royal Court can state that they are still a long way behind the number of visitors to Chinese Pavilion and Drottningholm Palace during the summer season. Even if some upswing was noted last year they are well behind 2019. The year before the pandemic is used as a reference point for fair comparisons.
- We reach up to around 60% in Drottningholm and around 40% in Chinese Pavilion, says Helena Chreisti, head of marketing and education at the Royal Court. She sees the war in Ukraine as an underlying cause. Also at other castles they see that certain nationalities don't come at all now. The larger cruise ships with routes to Sweden, Finland and Saint Petersburg don't come to Sweden to the same extent. There are only a few American tourists, many feel a certain concern for the entire area close to the war.
Chreisti believes in continued close cooperation with Visit Stockholm to attract more tourists. And she believes that events like the celebration of the King's 50 years on the throne have an effect later. The whole area gets attention and it has a positive effect, just as it has been with royal baptisms and weddings. You get to see the place and start planning a visit.

The Palace of Queens
The name Drottningholm goes back to the building that Johan III, at the end of the 16th century, had built for his consort Queen Katarina Jagellonika.

Drottningholm Palace shows great power and grandeur. The splendour of the royal palace became a way to confirm the power of the monarch.
Alongside Sweden’s grandest baroque rooms, Drottningholm palace has several galleries in memory to the Swedish king’s military exploits during the great power.

Tessin the Elder's Drottningholm
When Queen Dowager Hedvig Eleonora bought the Drottningholm property in 1661, the task of building the new castle went to architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder. It would be a castle that would well correspond to Sweden's position as one of Europe's most powerful states...

Hedvig Eleonora's Drottningholm
Hedvig Eleonora didn't hold back when she had Drottningholm Palace built. The palace splendor became a way of consolidating royal power during the Swedish great power period. The state bedchamber, like a gold jewelry box, was the heart of the representational floor during the 17th century. The lavish baroque room served as an official audience room where the most important guests were received.
Kungliga slotten on Instagram: "Hedvig Eleonoras Drottningholm . Hedvig Eleonora höll inte tillbaka när hon lät uppföra Drottningholms slott. Slottsprakten blev ett sätt att befästa kungamakten under den svenska stormaktstiden. Paradsängkammaren, som ett smyckeskrin i guld, var hjärtat i representationsvåningen under 1600-talet. Det påkostade barockrummet fungerade som ett officiellt audiensrum där de mest betydande gästerna togs emot. För att markera en tydlig gräns mellan kungligheterna och de världsliga besökarna, byggdes en alkovvägg med tre triumfbågformade öppningar mot rumsdelen. När paradsängkammaren färdigställdes var väggarnas färgsättning svart med ornamenten i bladguld. Det har tolkats som en hyllning till kungaätten Pfalz vars vapen var ett gyllene lejon mot svart sköld. I segeryran efter slaget vid Narva år 1700 ändrades det svarta till karolinerblått.

Love on the wallpaper
In 1654, the wedding between Karl X Gustav and Hedvig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp took place. As a gift from Count Johan Oxenstierna, the couple received a suite of wallpaper, woven in Mortlake outside London.
The motif is taken from antiquity and tells the love story of Hero and Leander. The wallpaper suite can be viewed today in the Oskar's Hall at Drottningholm Palace.

Gustav III's Drottningholm
When Gustav III took over the disposition rights to Drottningholm in 1777, he began to use the state bedchamber both as a private bedroom and as a ceremonial representation room.

A park in Hedvig Eleonora's time was not just a park. It was a way of making the position of power visible. The symmetrical, balanced form-bound and disciplined Baroque park was a symbol of order, harmony, culture and peace.

Oskar I and Josefina's Drottningholm
In the 1850s, Oskar I and Queen Josefina initiated an extensive renovation of the Hall of State at Drottningholm Palace. The royal couple was inspired by the portrait galleries at Gripsholm, and Oskar I wanted to highlight his role as head of state in a larger European context. Josefina's family connections with the European princely houses became significant in the work and all were contacted by letter by herself. Princely full-length portraits were a tradition that developed during the 16th century.

Popular culture's Drottningholm
Drottningholm is also a historical scene for popular culture. In 1977, Drottningholm was visited by four world stars! The cover of Abba's single 'Name of the game' was photographed here, where the members pose in front of the Water Parterre in Drottningholm's baroque park. Photographs from the palace visit were later published in Abbas's official photo book. In 1989 it was time for 'Taube holds court' at Drottningholm, a musical guest performance in the palace halls with Sven-Bertil Taube as cicerone. In the summer 2004, Drottningholm Palace received another unexpected visit! An Indian Bollywood team chose Stockholm as an exotic backdrop for their romantic production 'Follow your heart' ('Dil jo bhi kahey'). The baroque park on Drottningholm became the filming location for one of the film's big dance numbers. In 2016, the 'History Eaters' threw themselves back into the time of Gustav III with a visit to Drottningholm's theater and palace park. 2016 was also the year when another celebrity came to Drottningholm – the cartoon character Donald Duck! In a specially written series, Donald and the boys visit Drottningholm Palace - a tourist visit that quickly turns into an adventure.

Maria Uggla, the National Property Agency's press secretary, confirmed to Svensk Damtidning that during the summer some work is carried out to improve the passage for personnel and transport into Drottningholm Palace. The gravel is being replaced by a paved surface and bollards are being installed. The work is estimated to take 8–9 weeks and will be carried out during the summer of 2024 by the Property Board in collaboration with The Office of the Governor of the Royal Palaces. In 2025, the old fence will be replaced with a new one.

Japanese cherry trees may not be planted in the labyrinth grove in Drottningholm Palace Park.
The Swedish National Heritage Board decided after an application from the National Property Agency to plant 29 such trees in the labyrinth grove's large grass oval: "The Heritage Board assesses that, if replanting in the labyrinth grove's large grass oval is to be considered, trees need to be of a historically appropriate variety".
A horticultural archeological survey carried out in the area has indeed shown that there were 28 trees at that location, but not what kind they were.
However, benches may be set out in the labyrinth grove.

A horticultural archeological survey carried out in the area has indeed shown that there were 28 trees at that location, but not what kind they were.
However, benches may be set out in the labyrinth grove.
Japanskt körsbär får nobben i Drottningholm
Japanska körsbärsträd får inte planteras i labyrintboskén i Drottningholmsparken - det har Riksantikvarieämbetet bestämt.

1790s: An enigmatic tower
In 1792, the Gothic tower was erected in Drottningholm Palace park, at Gustav III's request, based on drawings by Louis Jean Desprez. The tower is a bit of a mystery in terms of function and significance, but it was probably built to act as a backdrop in the king's knight games. Gustav III, like many others of his time, was a historical romantic with a fondness for Gothicism. In 1794, an optical telegraph was installed on the roof of the tower, which could send traffic from Drottningholm to the Royal Palace in Stockholm.

Here's an explanation if somebody else had their curiosity tickled.
