Drottningholms slottspark

One of the most beautiful and historic palace parks in Scandinavia. Drottningholm Palace Park surrounds the royal residence with a stunning blend of Baroque formality and romantic English gardens, reflecting over 300 years of landscape design. The first part of the park was created in the late 17th century for Queen Hedvig Eleonora, inspired by the gardens of Versailles. Long symmetrical avenues, trimmed hedges, sculptures, and fountains were meant to express order, harmony, and royal power — a perfect example of Baroque ambition. In the 18th and 19th centuries, new areas were added in the softer English style: winding paths, open lawns, lakes, and small bridges that create a peaceful, natural atmosphere. One of the highlights is the Chinese Pavilion (Kina Slott), a whimsical 18th-century pleasure palace reflecting Europe’s fascination with the Far East. Walking through Drottningholm Park feels like moving through different eras — from royal grandeur to quiet, romantic nature. A beautiful, serene place and the perfect complement to the palace itself.

En vacker och lugn park

Från slottet är det en härlig promenad genom de rymliga trädgårdarna som leder hela vägen till den kinesiska paviljongen. Fridfullt och perfekt för avkoppling, särskilt charmigt under vintermånaderna.
