The Royal Palace of Stockholm

Highlight • Castle

Since I like castles, I photographed the building. Unfortunately, I was unable to take part in a guided tour of the castle. Maybe another time I'm without a bike.

Royal Dramatic Theatre (Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern)

Highlight • Monument

Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern is the full name of the Stockholm theater, but is usually referred to simply as Dramaten.
The theater was officially opened in 1908 with Strindberg's play Mäster Olof.
Many famous Swedish artists have contributed to the decorations of this Art Nouveau building. For example, many of the statues on the facade are by Carl Miles and Carl Larsson contributed to the ceiling paintings in the marble hall.

Stortorget, Gamla Stan (Old Town)

Highlight • Historical Site

It may not be particularly large, but it is all the more steeped in history - Stortorget, Stockholm's former market square in the colorful Gamla Stan. Even without knowing about the events that took place here a long time ago, you can sense that this square is something special. The beautiful facades and gables of the buildings on the west side of Stortorget, as well as the cozy cafés on the ground floor of the houses, suggest that the square had an almost idyllic past. But appearances are deceptive. What is probably the most frequently photographed city motif today was the scene of a gruesome bloodbath towards the end of 1520. When the Danish King Christian "Tyrant" II ordered the execution of over 80 members of Stockholm's upper society, the condemned were literally beheaded on this square. The legendary Stockholm bloodbath colored the floor of Stortorget blood red and brought the king a "success" that lasted only a few years. It can't be a coincidence that exactly 82 white stones were embedded in the house at Stortorget 20.

An equally dominant and important building is the former stock exchange, which was inaugurated by King Gustav III at the end of the 18th century. For many years, both the stock exchange and the Swedish Academy were housed under the roof of this building. Since 2001, the Nobel Museum has been located in this building, which is quite interesting, but with its promising name promises more than the exhibits on display can deliver. The wall of the house on the corner of Prästgatan and Kakbrinken is worth seeing. In the 11th century, a rune stone was walled into this wall, but its function can no longer be determined. All in all, Stortorget is a picturesque jewel of the Swedish metropolis, and one should be willing to allow oneself to be enchanted by its medieval charm.
