The guard's tent was designed by Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz in the 18th century. It was a barrack intended for members of the royal guard, which from the outside, however, was to look like a decorative Turkish tent. It was made entirely of sheet metal, which was shaped in such a way as to resemble a canvas. It is decorated with pelmets with fringes.
The tent owes its present appearance to many years of renovation work (1989 - 1996), thanks to which it was possible to faithfully reproduce the original.
Inside there are two floors of wood, in the upper part of the building there were rooms for officers, downstairs there was a kitchen and bedrooms for guards. Today, a comfortable staircase and ramp for wheelchair users lead to the tent.
The initiator of the tent construction was King Gustav III himself, who during one of his visits to the French court at Louis XV saw tents given to him by the Turkish Sultan.
