The Knight's House or House of the Nobility is a 17th-century baroque building, a place where meetings of the nobles were held to make political decisions. After the nobility lost its power, the Knights' House was not transferred to other institutions and is still used for its intended purpose - various events of the noble families of Sweden are held here, as well as classical music concerts. The building has beautiful facades, decorated with sculptures and stuccoes, and several allegorical statues are installed on its roof. This elegant building is surrounded by manicured gardens. The interior decoration of Riddarhuset is not inferior in beauty and splendor to its exterior - the monumental staircase and richly decorated halls of the palace are impressive. The Great Hall of Riddarhusalen will amaze many visitors to the House of Nobility, because there are 2330 copper plates with the coats of arms of all the noble families that once took part in the noble assembly. In front of the building there is also a statue of the Swedish king Gustav Vasa, paying tribute to the first king of the Vasa dynasty.
