The Earl's Curious Paradox: King's Palace Turned Residence

The Earl's Curious Paradox: King's Palace Turned Residence

A summer palace for the king, now the home of Drottningholm's earl.

Tullgarn Palace, constructed in the 1770s for King Charles XII, provides a blend of rococo, Gustavian, and Victorian architectural styles. Originally serving as a royal residence in 1772, it has been the residence of Drottningholm's earl for the past 70 years, as a token of appreciation for his military service. The palace boasts one of Sweden's finest interior designs, with many original Gustavian elements still intact.
