	Drottningholm
		Drottningholm (Swedish: "queen's island") is an island in lake Mälaren in the outskirts of Stockholm, Sweden.
		Construction of the palace commenced in the 17th century.
		This 18th-century theatre is special also because it was unused for many years, and rediscovered only in the latter part of the 20th century.

		The Drottningholms Slottsteater or The Drottningholm Palace Theatre is an opera house located at Drottningholm Palace in Stockholm, Sweden and has been described by Per-Erik Öhrn, the theatre’s artistic director, as "the Swedish jewel in our European cultural heritage crown of centuries old theatres".

		While Sweden’s Drottningholm Palace does not appear to be as grand and perhaps magnificent as the Palace of Versailles, it nevertheless can be seen to have been inspired by it, as apparent in the images of it here.
		However, Drottningholm Palace did not seek to be a replica of Versailles, evident by its Chinese pavilions, a feature not present at the Palace of Versailles, if this writer’s recollection of Versailles is correct.
		Drottningholm Castle was built by the Queen Hedvig Eleonora, beginning in 1662 under the guidance of an architect named Nicodemus Tessin Snr, but was only completed by his son Nicodemus Tessin Jnr.
