Drottningholm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drottningholm, or literally "Queen's Islet", is a village on the island Lovön in lake Mälaren on the outskirts of Stockholm (Ekerö Municipality), Sweden. The Drottningholm Palace, the residence of the Swedish royal family since 1981, is located here. The village was planned and built in the mid 18th century for the people working at the palace. It is a good example of how a Swedish village would have looked like in the 18th and 19th centuries, containing many picturesque houses and villas. The Coordinates are: 59° 19' 18"N 17° 53' 12"E. To get to Drottningholm by public transport one takes the metro to Brommaplan, then an Ekerö-bound SL bus.
