Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Tour Round the Baltic: Thro the Northern Countries of Europe
Residence. The form is square, and within is a fine quadrangle. The turrets at the corners are very superb, finished in the moss. Improved style of Gothic architecture. They shewed me several large apartments, which are still denominated the king' there is nothing, however, in them, except some gilt leather chairs of equal antiquity with the castle; and several daubings of the Danish Sovereigns, prancing about on white steeds. I desired to see the chambers which were occupied by her present majesty, during her confinement here; I mean the queen Matilda, so lately dethroned: but they are, I find, those in which the Colonel Commandant resides; who it seems had humanity and politeness enough to resign his. During her stay; as the royal apart ments were not fit, at that inclement season of the year when she was brought down here, it being the 17th day of January, 1772, to receive any person. They are in fact vast, unfurnished, hideous, bare walls.
