Haga Royal Park, Stockholm

2.5/5 (2 ratings)

Gardenvisit Editorial

A serpentine park, made in the late eighteenth century near a bay beside the Baltic, with a collection of Mixed Style garden buildings. The park was started by King Gustav III. It has a neoclassical Royal Pavillion, made after a tour of Italy in 1782. The Koppartalten is a 'Roman battle tent' designed by Louis Jean Desperez (1790) as a stable. The Haga Slott was built in 1802-4 for Gustaf IV. The Ekotemplet was designed as a summer dining room. Like the Kinesiska Pagoden (Chinese Pagoda) it is brightly coloured. There is also a Turkish Pavilion. Sweden was influenced by Germany and it would not be wrong to see a similarity with the work of Prince Puckler at Muskau and Branitz. Hagaparken is now part of Ekoparken, an urban National Park which extends round the Brunnsviken inlet.

Address - Hagaparken, Stockholm, Sweden

Haga is amazing. The Copper Tent and the series of follies, the level of maintenance, the ruins of the unfinished palace, the proximity to downtown Stockholm are all elements that make it all the more remarkable. The decorative painting on the second floor of the pavilion are such a surprise after the simple grisaille decoration of the first floor. The water level in the surrounding bay have dropped considerably since it was built, but this is still a must see garden park.

I think Sweden is not much of a country for visiting gardens. Haga Royal Park is just grass and trees and a few follies. No flowers. Not much fun, unless you like shivering on the grass.
