[1][2] In 1751, Louisa Ulrika of Prussia was crowned Queen of Sweden after her marriage to King Adolf Frederick.

It seems that the construction was carried out with haste in order to have it finished in time for the arrival of a French theatre troupe.

[5] The largest of the reception rooms were more elaborately decorated, notably in a form of Rococo which displays German influences rather than French, and exhibits a number of features not known from any other works by Adelcrantz, indicating that the queen (who was of German origin) may have been personally involved in its design.

[6] The plain walls of the auditorium were painted as to imitate colossal pilasters, architraves and cartouches.

Reconstruction works for the auditorium were also started with the aim of transforming it into a hunting lodge for Charles XV to designs in a Renaissance Revival style.

It went on to serve multiple different uses including a school classroom, a military barracks and a telegraphic station.

In 1935 it was declared a protected cultural heritage and an association was formed in 1965 with the aim of restoring the theatre.

Confidencen is part of the Ulriksdal Palace park, one of the official residences of the Swedish Royal Family.
