Kina Slott is located in the southeast corner of the Baroque garden of Drottningholm Palace. The pavilion was built in the 1760s by replacing a building erected ten years earlier as a birthday present to Queen Lovisa Ulrika. The style has strong Chinese influences. Several smaller pavilions, among them the Confidencen, accompany the main structure. European Rococo dominates the exterior, but the exotic influence is obvious on the red wall and the sculptural decorations of the façade. The interior is predominantly Gustavian (Swedish Neo-Classicism) but here, too, the Chinese influence in tapestries and furniture is clearly visible. To reach the pavilion, take the subway to Brommaplan and then catch bus no. 301, 323, 177 or 178. Admission fee is SEK60.
