Riddarhuset (House of Nobility), Stockholm, Sweden. The building, which was designed by a French architect, Simon de la Vallee, and completed by his son, Jean, dates from the 17th century. The Riddarhuset used to be the equivalent of the British House of Lords until Sweden's modern parliament, the unicameral Riksdag, was established in 1866.
