The Roy­al Domain of Drot­tning­holm stands on an island in Lake Malar in a sub­urb of Stock­holm. With its cas­tle, per­fect­ly pre­served the­atre (built in 1766), Chi­nese pavil­ion and gar­dens, it is the finest exam­ple of an 18th-cen­­tu­ry north Euro­pean roy­al res­i­dence inspired by the Palace of Ver­sailles.
