Council Chamber
The Council Chamber was probably one of the more lavish rooms in the Royal Apartments at Gripsholm Castle, as the ceiling shows. The tour allows you to see and read about the amber cabinet, the ivory-topped table, the cabinet of curiosities, King Karl XV's gilded leather-effect wall covering and King Gustav IV Adolf's piano.
Duke Carl's Chamber
Duke Carl's Chamber is one of the best preserved rooms in the country from the time of the Vasa kings. During the virtual tour, you can learn about the architecture, the décor, King Erik XIV's imprisonment and the toilet – a luxury that only royalty could enjoy.
Gustav III's Theatre
This tour is particularly special. The theatre at Gripsholm is Sweden's best preserved 18th century theatre. Here, King Gustav III and his court enjoyed performances that could be up to nine hours long.
During the virtual tour, you can learn about the baroque stage, the backdrop scenes, the machinery and the décor. And don't forget to look up at the ceiling.
