Historical Afternoon

Yesterday I was invited by Noppes for a historical afternoon at Riddarhuset; the House of Nobility in Stockholm.





The House of Nobility was commissioned in the 17 th century by the Swedish nobility, to whom it still belongs. The building remains one of the most exquisite works of architecture in northern Europe.





Peter Liilliehöök is not just a friend but an excellent tourguide and entertainer. Here Peter is giving us a historical lecture before entering the House.





This was the uniform of the Nobility year 1805





And here the men of 17 th century, long hair was in fashion





The Session Hall is decorated with 2325 escutcheons of the Swedish aristocracy.
I was in this hall once before, when I was awarded the Swedish Royal Patriotic Society medal for entrepreneurship in the field of trade and industry, presented by our Majesty King Carl-Gustav, year 2009





This is the beautiful room where the dinner was taking place. I was very proud.





Carl Adam 'Noppe' Lewenhaupt is a Swedish count and also the owner of a private club in Stockholm. At the top you can see Noppes family escutcheon.





This is Noppes private club where we were enjoying drinks afterwards
