Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz 1716–1796

After travelling in Europe, Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz was employed as a supervisor during the construction of Stockholm Palace. During his travels to France in 1753, he acquired models for new furnishings and fittings for the Royal Palace.

The Chinese Pavilion – a birthday present for Lovisa Ulrika – is closely associated with Adelcrantz. He was also the architect of royal theatres such as Drottningholm Palace Theatre and Confidencen at Ulriksdal. Today, Drottningholm Palace and its associated buildings and gardens are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

His relationship with King Gustav III was initially good, and he was commissioned to design the king's opera house, which was built in 1775–1782.
