This room was originally Gustav III's dining room. Still today the room is used during cabinet meetings between The King and the government. In the north west corner of this section lies the Cabinet Room. Not all plans were finished, but despite this the rooms are unparalleled in northern Europe. The original plans for this section were made during the “Great Power" era in Sweden by palace architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. The State Apartments consist of nine state rooms. Here you will see for instance Gustaf VI Adolf, Crown Princess Margareta, and our current King and Queen, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. The last room in the Bernadotte Apartment is also a gallery also containing a number of paintings of members of the Royal Family. Beside it lies the newly decorated Jubilee Room that represents the skilled craftsmanship of our times. The following room is used for formal audiences. The room provides the perfect opportunity to relate the story of Karl XIV Johan and the unsettled early 1800s. The Bernadotte Gallery contains pictures of almost all the older members of the Royal Family. The room is a fine example of Victorian style. Both the chandelier and the carpet are impressive in size. Leaving the Pillared Hall, you enter the Victoria Salon and the splendour of the 1800's. Today the room is mainly reflects the 1780s, when it was modernized by Gustav III. Originally the Pillared Hall, in the north-west corner of the apartments, was Adolf Fredrik's dining room. Here you will learn about the palace's earliest history up to the time when the Bernadotte Apartments was ready for moving in and became home to King Adolf Fredrik and Queen Lovisa. The Bernadotte Apartments is situated in the north wing and has 14 rooms.
