We lost so many writings due to the fire. I think ive read somewhere that more than 2/3rds was lost, writings such as hundreds of years old letters(already at that time) between different generals and the aristocracy. As well as a lot of the medieval history of sweden.
When I was going in school in Sweden, I remember that I thought it was so sad reading that the old palace "Tre kronor" burned down. Still think similar today but can appreciate the current palace on its own right but there is something magical with towers etc.😊👑
Great documentary! It's always worth a visit whenever you're visiting Stockholm. There are guided tours through the palace, and amazing museums such as the Livrustkammaren and Museum Tre Kronor.
I’m lucky to walk past it twice a day on my way to and from work. It’s not the most dramatic piece of architecture but the location is fantastic and its history and symbolism is important to me as a Sweden 🇸🇪
1400 rooms is far from accurate, according to the courts home page it's 600+ rooms spread over 11 floors. When the head of Versailles came on a visit he was stunned by the collections, the condition, how complete they are and the registers of everything going back to when the castle was built. It's so much more than a list of the items, it says when it was bought, where it was bought and by who. There's even original sampels of fabrics.
Just to clarify: There are 600+ rooms with windows (and/or fireplaces) and a grand total of 1400+ rooms (so roughly 800 rooms without windows and fireplaces). Then there are almost 200 enclosed spaces that are not accounted for as “rooms”, like wardrobes and stairwells.
The great irony of the time. When Charles was defeated in Russia and fled into exile in Turkey. His nobles were given rather generous peaceoffers from the Tzar that would have allowed Sweden to remain a great power. But alas. The king refused all negotiations, and the Swedish parliament dared not go against the wishes of their king. So in the end we lost everything... Except Finland, that came later
A blessing in disguise. Keeping a Baltic empire would have put Sweden up against Russia over and over, eventually. Instead we got hundreds of years of peace.
The peace offers came much earlier, BEFORE the battle at Poltava. You know, when Sweden was actually wining the war. Of course Russia wanted peace then.
Charles was extremely stubborn and was opposed to anything that would mean a disadvantage to Sweden. Probably because there was actually, a greater opportunity for a more advantageous peace. For example, taking Norway would give Sweden a much greater hand at the negotiation table, it was easier said than done however. @@anumeon
Please do this again. Would be lovely to see someone staying in one place a bit longer and actually trying to comunicate with potential spirits. Not only talking about how things ’feel’ (even if that is important), but someone using tools so we, who are not in the room, can see if something comunicates back to the investigators. (An example of what I mean is the youtube channel ’Haunted nights’).
I like the style of the old castle "Three Crowns". It was so mighty!!! I also like the style of "Kalmar Castle" in the Kalmar city. It is the Swedish style. The new castle is not for me.
King commissioned new place but , why did he never added big acres of gardens Orchards path ways like Versailles , which would have given palace more grandeur and would have made it more attractive ..... It looks like some common big building within the crowd of Stockholm , separating palace from that crowd, big area of land filled with gardens and lakes and fountains would have given it more important and royal look .... now you can drive around the palace there's no privacy and also question of safety no one knows who can drive around the palace
Therer aren't room for big gardens due to the size of the island the palace and that part of the city is on, but yeah, the car roads going all around it is a SCANDAL, and pretty much all of us who live in Stockholm who aren't politicians or city planners agree on this. Despite this, in recent years the situation has been made even worse with a widening of the road and a giant monster of a bridge for cars leading there. The castle was meant to be approached by sea from that side with a unobstructed view of the building, and now there's a giant wound in the form of a motorway right in front of it.

The tone and format of the intro to this is waaaay too close to “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” for me. And I couldn’t even stand to watch the whole promo for that show, either.
In Sweden it is a tradition when monarchs have a double name like Mary-Ann or in this case Carl Gustaf to put the number in the middle of the name, because the number only refers to the first part of the name. It´s to make things simpler to follow the line. The king does not have a dash in between his first name even if his first name is tecnically Carl Gustaf. This has happend alot with older regents like: Gustav II Adolf, Carl XIV Johan, Karl X Gustav, Ulrika Eleonora etc. It is important to note that the numbering only refers to the first part of the name in all cases unless the number is written after. In this case there have been 15 kings named Carl before him. The current "dynasty" on the swedish throne is called Bernadotte so the current king is Carl XVI Gustaf of house Bernadotte. Sorry for the long reply... :)
@@mn4169 No, as said before here he's the 16th Karl/Carl, but as he's actually Carl Gustaf the full name with enumeration becomes Carl XVI Gustaf. Actually, the numbering is a bit inflated - the first kings to use numbering was Gustav Vasa's sons and their historians stuffed the regent history with a number of dubious or plain fictious kings. Our current king is more like the 10th Karl from what we know.
@@bjornerikroth We cannot be sure if the numbering is true or not. As most records of all the heathen kings were cleared out from the histories. It is obviously not random chance that Erik Segersäll is considered to be the oldest confirmed king to exist when he is also the first christian king... There are several different sources for the line of kings before him from secondary sources, but since they disagree on some of the names and dates historians disregard them all and call them "legendary". That the royal library also went up in flames in 1697 ads to the fog around early Sweden. Who knows what documents were destroyed there.
in sweden we always called it "slottet" the castle,we don't say "palats" that means palace. so i don't know why they called it a palace in english when it's suppose to be castle! it's not a palace
Becuse the swedish word slott can be both a palace and a castle. The royal palace was never intended to work as a castle, it was and is a palace, the Swedish word Fort is more of a classical castle.
Because we call everything slott. It makes sense for foreigners to translate the different types into their words. We've never really bothered to sort them properly. Drottningholm is called slott ffs.
That’s such a ridiculous comment….people in the Americas have no concept of having more than 1000 years of monarchy in our history, whereas the culture of those countries was literally dictated by the successive monarchs and courts. That includes religion, music, art of all kinds including dance, architecture, festivals…..it’s all linked backwards to _something_ in history! The royals give their name, time, and energy to an incredible number of charities, and without their “glamour,” the charities would get far less money. Also, castles were built hundreds of years ago, so the poor from that time are dust. However, the economies in countries with reigning monarchs are greatly enhanced by tourism directly related to the castles and art collections of monarchs, so it benefits many many people.

They were literally throwing burning books out the windows of the library to save whatever they could.
When was this?! I'm part swedish and my mother was full swede.

The worst part is that the old archives burnt. With older literature and lots of our history lost forever.
Me and my friends served as Royal Guards at the two Stockholm Palaces during the new year, one of the best times of my life.
I love the swedish royals. Met some off them & they are so warm & kind! Sweden are so lucky to have their crown princess. She will do great

*MAKE A TOUR TO THE PALACE OF MADRID, THE PALACE IN AMSTERDAM AND THE BELGIUM PALACE please.*
OKEY
The earthy and soft colors are so pleasing to the eyes
Love watching documentaries about palace🏰
Thank you for this wonderful series! Human beings are amazingly creative!❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸 Especially how they choose to display their consciousness!❤
Very nice, but the text subtitles is some wrong. Drottningholm was translated to "trottham" or something😂. As a swede native its kind of fun to watch
Its an AI program doing the subtitles
Ljungholm blev Lungholm ;)
Why are you showing images of the much younger nearby parliament building when talking about the exterior of the royal palace?
The the Royal Opera!
@@T1hitsTheHighestNote I missed that, but they definitely showed pictures of the Riksdag when talking about the palace's exterior.
Love the english subtitle at 24:55, the silly Throne.. :)
Thank You for this program. I will share it with Family members.
background sound track not necessary, people!
Thanks for uploading!!

What´s is the soundtrack used in this video intro?
Es war damals gewesen...................! Heutigen Zeit Spielen man auf der Wissenschaften & Sicherheiten haben.........
King Gustaf III said when he was shot: "Ah! Je suis blessé, tirez-moi d'ici et arrêtez-le"
Please stop using music in the background. It diminishes an otherwise well produced video

Why does the monarch have "Gustav" at the end of his name (Carl XVI Gustav)? Does it indicate a dynastic connection?
In Sweden it is a tradition when monarchs have a double name like Mary-Ann or in this case Carl Gustaf to put the number in the middle of the name, because the number only refers to the first part of the name.

@@Surion93 It also makes it easier to remember them rather than just Carl this and Carl that.
