A visit to Rosendal slott, one of the Royal residences, includes a private tour by a palace expert. It was here that King Karl XIV Johan (the first of the Swedish Bernadotte kings and Napoleon I's former general, Jean Baptiste Bernadotte) lived together with his beautiful but rather difficult wife Désirée. The house is beautifully preserved and contains some magnificent late eighteenth century interiors. The story of Désirée's life was made famous in the 1954 film Désirée starring Marlon Brando and Jean Simmons.
