House of Nobility (Sweden)

All esquires are also represented in the corporation (most of the families are so called untitled nobility, Swedish: obetitlad adel).

Elisabeth Olin is believed to have debuted here in the 1750s, and foreign artists performed such as Elisabetta Almerighi, Giovanni Ansani (1772) and Rosa Scarlatti.

The French-born architect Simon de la Vallée started the planning of the building, but was killed by a Swedish nobleman in 1642.

The south end of the building carries the Latin inscription CLARIS MAIORUM EXEMPLIS, after the clear example of the forefathers, and holds a statue of Gustav Vasa, the king of Sweden 1523-1560.

The architecture of the old main library in Turku, Finland, was influenced by the Swedish House of Nobility.
