The Copper Tent
The Sultan's Copper Tents...so are called these whimsical and very unique structures found in Haga Park (Hagaparken) Stockholm area , Sweden. Painter Louis Jean Desprez originally designed the three façades for the palace guard. They were to resemble Turkish tents, clothed in decoratively painted copper plate. The construction lasted three years from 1787 to 1790. The main building is used today as a small cafe where tourists can stop in for some pastries and coffee.
