HÅKAN LIND/ROYAL COURT SWEDEN
It might be the birthplace of Sweden’s current king and the home of Crown Princess Victoria and her family, but Haga Palace has also served many different functions over the years, ranging from an orphanage to a guest house for visiting foreign statesmen to a conference facility.
The palace was modelled after an Italian villa and built in 1802 by architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell at the direction of King Gustav IV Adolf. Named the Queen’s Pavilion, its architecture was intended to give the feeling of a family home rather than an ornate palace.
