- Cover photo description:
- The great hall of the House of Nobility was used by the aristocracy for meetings of Parliament during the Diet of the Four Estates 1668-1865. Today, the Nobility gathers here for the Assembly of Nobles, which occurs every third year. At the Assembly, each family that is introduced in the House of Nobility can be represented by one delegate. The Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Literature among others celebrate their anniversaries here. The great hall is also used as a meeting place for the Swedish noble families as well as for chamber concerts. Hanging on the walls of the hall are the coat of arms, painted on copper plates, of noble families who have been introduced at the House of Nobility. Altogether 2 331 families are thus represented. Of these, 663 still have living members in Sweden and abroad.
