The Chinese Pavilion in the park at Drottningholm Palace in Sweden was built by Carl Fredric Adelcrantz for Queen Lovisa Ulrica in 1763-69. It replaced an earlier smaller pavilion built in wood that had been built as a surprise for the queen by her husband King Adolf Fredric and presented to her on her birthday 24 July 1753. It is European fantasy in the Rococo style of how a Chinese building might look," Håkan Groth's Instagram (8 March 2016).
