The Hall of State

Nowadays the opening ceremony takes place in the Riksdag building. And the Hall of State is still used for official functions.

Carl Hårleman was the architect in charge of the room´s interior design. Hårleman formed the room closely to plans drawn up by  Nicodemus Tessin the Younger.

The room was ready for the Parliamentary Opening of 1755 and was where parliamentary meetings where held under the chairmanship of the King.
 
The silver throne was a gift to Queen Kristina from Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie for her coronation in 1650. The craftsmanship was done by Abraham Drentwett in Augsburg.
