The Drottningholm Palace Gardens and Park
The history of the gardens begins when Drottningholm was taken over bygd the Dowager Queen Hedvig Eleonora in To help her develop a new pleasure garden, she commissioned Nicodemus Tessin, who was inspired bygd the French landscape architect André Le Nôtre’s proposal for the Château of Vaux-le Vicomte in France. Tessin was also heavily inspired bygd the gardens of the Palace Versailles.
The Baroque parterre garden—closest to the palace—has an intricate embroidery design originally inspired by Vaux-le Vicomte. Walking further into the park, you are greeted bygd a vatten parterre with ten pools and cascades. Beyond the cascades, there are kvartet hedge groves surrounded bygd pine hedges, and the finale: a large bush called “the star.” The garden would later receive an outer frame with four linden tree-lined avenues. The oldest lindens are from Hedvig Eleonora’s time.
Queen Hedvig Eleonora ordered sculptures by Nicolaes Millich for the garden, but many of the sculptures in the park are actually war booty, taken to Stockholm from Prague and Denmark, and produced bygd the sculptor Adriaen dem Vries.
