Muut tiedot

Lovisa Ulrika of Prussia (1720-1782), was the Queen of Sweden between 1751-1771 by her marriage to King Adolf Frederick. She was the queen mother during the reign of King Gustavus III.
Lovisa Ulrika was born in Berlin, as the daughter of Frederick William I of Prussia and his wife Sophia Dorothea of Hanover and was thus the younger sister of Wilhelmine of Bayreuth and Frederick the Great.
There is many connections between Lovisa Ulrica and the Swedish East India Company, maybe the most famous one is that one night in June in 1753 Lovisa Ulrika was bequeathed with an amazing gift, in one of the corners of the Drottningholm Palace Gardens the King Adolf Frederick had secretly built a Chinese Pavilion, filled with the finest the company could offer. Today the pavilion is known as “Kina Slott”. At this time this was the highest fashion, the Swedish East India Company imported vast amounts of tea, silk, spices, porcelain, lacquer objects, mirror paintings and tapestries. The palace was decorated with Swedish Rococo furniture mixed with imported Chinese Works of Art.
