Blue door, Governmental gate at Royal Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden
The Blue Gate stands as a formal entrance to Royal Djurgården, featuring architectural elements that reflect mid-19th century Swedish design principles.
The gate was constructed in 1848 to replace an older entrance structure located south of the Djurgårdsbron bridge in Stockholm.
The entrance marks the boundary between urban Stockholm and the Royal National City Park, a space transformed from royal hunting grounds to public recreation.
Public transportation stops near the Blue Gate provide direct access to Royal Djurgården's numerous museums, gardens, and waterfront attractions.
The gate maintains its original function from 1848 when visitors had to pay an entrance fee to access Djurgården until 1862.
