Step into the enchanting world of Drottningholm Castle on Lovon Island, where Adriaen de Vries' magnificent bronze sculptures transport you to a bygone era. Marvel at Neptune as he blows into a conch shell, his power resonating through the gardens. Feel the strength and grace of the wrestlers locked in an eternal struggle for victory. Ascend the castle steps and admire Virtue's triumphant conquest over Sin, a testament to human resilience. Gaze upon Neptune once again, this time surrounded by the serene beauty of the baroque garden. Witness Hercules valiantly battling a fearsome dragon, showcasing courage against all odds. Immerse yourself in Venus and Adonis' timeless love story amidst nature's splendor. And finally, behold Hercules' epic fight with the dragon while taking in breathtaking views of the castle itself. These extraordinary bronze sculptures are not merely art pieces but gateways to history and mythology that have earned their place as UNESCO World Heritage treasures.
