Skogskyrkogården (Swedish for 'The Woodland Cemetery') is a cemetery located in the Gamla Enskede district south of central Stockholm. It was inaugurated in 1920 and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994. Its design, by Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz, reflects the development of architecture from Nordic Classicism to mature functionalism.

Stockholm is the capital and most populous city of Sweden as well as the largest urban area in the Nordic countries. Approximately 1 million people live in the municipality, with 2.1 million in the urban area, and 2.4 million in the metropolitan area in the 2020s. The city stretches across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. Outside the city to the east, and along the coast, is the island chain of the Stockholm archipelago. The area has been settled since the Stone Age, in the 6th millennium BC, and was founded as a city in 1252 by Swedish statesman Birger Jarl. The city serves as the county seat of Stockholm County.

Stockholm is the cultural, media, political, and economic center of Sweden. The Stockholm region alone accounts for over a third of the country's GDP, and is among the top 10 regions in Europe by GDP per capita.

Drottningholm Palace, Drottningholms slott in Swedish, or simply Drottningholm, is one of Sweden's Royal Palaces, situated near Sweden's capital Stockholm. It is the private residence of the Swedish royal family.

Located on Lovön Island in Lake Mälaren in Stockholm County's Ekerö Municipality, it was built in the late 17th century and was a regular summer residence of the Swedish royal court through most of the 18th century. The name Drottningholm (literally meaning "Queen's islet") came from the original renaissance building designed by Willem Boy, a stone palace built by Johan III of Sweden in 1580 for his queen, Katarina Jagellonica. This palace was preceded by a royal mansion called Torvesund.

The Queen Dowager Regent Hedwig Eleonora was head of the regency for the still-underage king, Karl XI of Sweden, from 1660 to 1672. Sweden had grown to be a powerful country after the Peace of Westphalia. The position of the queen, essentially the ruler of Sweden, demanded an impressive residence located conveniently close to Stockholm.

During the reign of the kings Karl XI of Sweden and Karl XII of Sweden, the royal court was often present at the palace, which was used for hunting. Hedwig Eleonora used the palace as a summer residence until her death in 1715, also when she had become the undisputed host of the royal court during the absence of Karl XII in the Great Northern War (1700-21).

Drottningholm Palace is a popular tourist attraction. In 1991, the Royal Domain of Drottningholm was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
