The history of Drottningholm Palace begins in the 16th century. The palace was originally built in 1580 by King John III for his wife, Queen Katarina Jagellonica. The name "Drottningholm," literally translated as "Queen's Island," testifies to this romantic dedication. However, after a fire in 1661, the palace was redesigned. The architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder—who also worked at the Royal Palace (Kungliga slottet) in central Stockholm, among other projects—oversaw the renovation, which gave the palace its current baroque splendor.
