Drottningholm Palace is the private residence of the Swedish royal family and a popular tourist attraction. It is located on the island of Lovön, near Stockholm.
Drottningholm derives its name ("Queen's islet") from the fact that it was originally a gift from the 16th century monarch, King John III, to his Polish-born wife, Catherine Jagellonica. Since those days, the palace and grounds have seen many renovations, changes, and additions.
