: I have seen in the royal website that there
: are many palaces and castles linked to the
: monarchy, but most of them are museums or
: tourist attractions. How many royal
: residences are at the disposal of the king
: to live or to perform his official duties?
: Or does he only use Drottninghold both for
: living and working?
:
: The king uses Drottningholm as his
: residence.
:
: The Royal Palace, in the center of
: Stockholm, is used as his office and for
: receptions and various formal events. It is
: also partially open to the public and
: contains a museum as well.
:
: Rosendal is a tiny manor at Djurgården,
: close to the center of Stockholm. It is used
: as a museum.
:
: Ulriksdal, just north of Stockholm, is
: partially used (southern wing) by the
: swedish section of the World Wildlife Fund,
: and contains a few apartments 8northern
: wing), but the main part of the building is
: hardly ever used.
:
: Slightly further to the north is Rosersberg,
: which has hardly been used by the royals
: since the death of queen Desideria (Desiree)
: in 1860. The King hosted a dinner there
: during an international meeting about Iraq
: recently, but it largely stands empty. It
: has been used by the army and more recently
: by a school for civil defence officers. They
: are however moving to purposebuilt
: buildings.
:
: Tullgarn, 100 km southeast of Stockholm is
: partially used as vacationhome for Royal
: Palace staff. Prince Carl Philip hosted his
: 25th birthdayparty there, otherwise the
: formal rooms are hardly ever used.
:
: Haga, close to Ulriksdal, is used by the
: government as a guesthouse for international
: guests.
:
: Strömsholm, 150 km east of Stockholm is
: partially used by the swedish equine
: federation, but most of it is just standing
: empty.
