    The Riddarhuset is largely built in the style of Dutch classicism. There are interesting interiors from the 17th century and an elaborate staircase. The knight's house used to be the Swedish equivalent of the English upper house.

    Today the building is Sweden's most exclusive social club and belongs to the approximately two thousand noble families, whose coats of arms are painted on metal shields and are hung on the walls of the large hall. Festivals, concerts and similar events take place here.
