Tessin's Drottningholm Palace illustrates the proximity between French and Swedish architectural practice.
During the golden age of the Swedish Empire, the architecture of Nordic countries was dominated by the Swedish court architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder (1615-81) and his son Nicodemus Tessin the Younger (1654-1728).
Born in Germany, Tessin the Elder endowed Sweden with a truly national style, a well-balanced mixture of contemporary French and medieval Hanseatic elements.
