The copper tents, Architectural ensemble in Haga Park, Sweden
The structures feature copper-clad facades designed to resemble military tents, with decorative elements and neoclassical architectural influences throughout their exterior surfaces.
King Gustav III commissioned French architect Louis Jean Desprez to construct these buildings between 1787 and 1790 as accommodations for his royal guard members.
The copper tents represent the integration of military functionality and royal architectural preferences during the late eighteenth century Swedish monarchy period.
Visitors can reach the copper tents through multiple walking paths in Haga Park, with guided tours available during regular park operating hours.
The structures maintain their original copper sheeting manipulation technique, creating an optical illusion that makes solid buildings appear as fabric military tents.
