Lilla Kina, Garden pavilion at Drottningholm Palace grounds, Sweden
The red-painted wooden structure displays a mixture of European construction methods with decorative elements inspired by Chinese architectural design patterns.
Built in 1753 as part of Queen Lovisa Ulrika's garden development project, Lilla Kina complemented the larger Chinese Pavilion at Drottningholm Palace.
The building represents the 18th-century European interest in Chinese architecture and design, which influenced many royal garden structures of that period.
Visitors can access Lilla Kina through guided tours from May to September, with entrance included in the general Drottningholm Palace grounds admission ticket.
The building maintains its original structural elements from the 1750s, including specific wooden joints and paint techniques characteristic of that era.
