Guided tour – Gustav III’s Pavilion in Haga Park

Gustav III’s Pavilion in Haga Park is one of the highlights of Swedish art history and is considered to have the country’s most perfect Gustavian interior.

The pavilion was built by architect Olof Tempelman – with detailed instructions from the dedicated King Gustav III. Another great artist of the time, Louis Masreliez, was commissioned for the interior work, making him a trendsetter in the interior design of that era.

The building was part of Gustav III’s grand visions for Haga Park, many of which never progressed beyond the drawing board. The king managed to use the pavilion for a couple of years. It was from here that Gustav III set off for the fateful masquerade ball at the Opera in March 1792.
