Mere om Koppartälten ......

Så fandt jeg denne tekst om de i mine øjne fantastiske kobbertelte:

The so called Copper Tents in Hagaparken (Haga Park) were built by King Gustav III (1746-1792) between 1787-1790. There are three different tents, one is modelled after the tent of a Sultan and the main one was made to look like a Roman army tent, I'm not sure about the third one. They were designed by the architect Olof Templeman and the decoration was done by Louis Jean Desprez. They were built to house the royal guard and stables. During WWI the copper reachable from the ground was stolen from all three tents, this one was partly destroyed in a fire in 1953 and all the copper has been replaced, the two smaller tents on each side have the original copper above this level. In 1996 the colour was restored to what is thought to be close to the original cobalt blue.
