It is well known that, throughout history, royalty have built castles, fortresses and entire cities to show their power. However, less consideration has been given to individual monarchs who pursued an interest in architecture and in some cases acted as architects.
Recent research on Gustav III (1746 1792) has shown that he was in fact the architect for a number of important building projects. His relative George III of England (1760 1820) also had a great interest in architecture, and his drawings and sketches have been preserved. In this richly illustrated book, a number of scholars provide additional examples and perspectives on the importance of monarchs for architecture and architecture policy.
