Gustav III's Pavilion, Royal pavilion in Haga Park, Sweden
Description
Gustav III's Pavilion is a neoclassical building in Haga Park featuring symmetrical wings, expansive windows, and white facades inspired by Roman design principles. Inside, the Hall of Mirrors and the Blue Drawing Room showcase refined interior spaces.
History
King Gustaf III commissioned architect Olof Tempelman to build this pavilion in 1787 as his residence. The structure reflects late 18th-century architectural design during the monarch's productive years.
Culture
The interior displays Pompeian motifs that mirror European enthusiasm for Roman antiquity in the 1700s. This taste shaped how an enlightened monarch expressed himself through decoration.
Practical
Visitors can explore the building through guided tours offered during summer months to see the refined interior spaces. The site sits within Haga Park, which provides accessible pathways around the grounds.
