Drottningholm in winter robes

The fantastic royal UNESCO World Heritage Site Drottningholm is probably associated with summer more than it is with any other season. Beautiful summer days, magnificent water fountains, lush green hedges and grass, frying direct sun over the open park, boats passing by in open water. And that’s also how it’s most often photographed. But Drottningholm in the winter is like a fairy-tale landscape, as was my experience last Saturday when I first saw it nestled in the snow.

The stunning palace, the cultural jewel of the Drottningholm Palace Theatre and all the other important and beautiful historic buildings and the huge park were all covered in white. The large fountain was at rest, the trimmed hedges were neither green nor particularly visible, and the water frozen. Everything laid in a beautiful quiet winter rest. But alone in the park, I was not. We were quite a few brave Saturday walkers who took a round through the park, some children went sledding and a few people skied as well.
