The Temple of Echo in Hagaparken, Solna, is a peculiar relic from the 18th century. Built as a summer dining room for King Gustav III in 1790, it was designed by Carl Christoffer Gjörwell. Echo Temple, as it is sometimes called, is a curious snapshot into the whims of an old king, a quirky addition to the park. The King's love for dining outdoors was well known, and this little building, with its graceful design and intriguing history, is a testament to that.
