Drottingholm - Stockholm - Sweden
Drottningholm Palace has been the home of the Royal Family since 1981. The name Drottningholm (literally ""Queen's Island"") originated in the late 16th century, when King Johan III built the first Palace on this site, for his Consort, Queen Katarina Jagellonika. The 16th century Palace was destroyed by fire on 30th December 1661. Earlier that year the Queen Dowager, Hedvig Eleonora, had bought the Palace. The Palace was also given an exclusive French Baroque park, large parts of which have been preserved. The bronze sculptures in the park are by Adrian de Vries, one of the most eminent sculptors of the Northern European Renaissance. The collection came to Sweden as booty from Prague and from Fredriksborg Palace in Denmark.

Dublin Castle - Dublin
Dublin Castle. Fragments are all that remain of the great medieval fortress that once served as a symbol of Royal authority in Ireland and the center of administration. From 1684 to 1761 it was extensively rebuilt, though the shape of the Anglo-Norman castle roughly coincides with the rebuilding. Its construction began in 1204 when King John directed Meiler FitzHenry, the Justiciar, to make a castle in Dublin ""with good ditches and strong walls"".
