This week's Finery belonged to Swedish ironworks mogul Ebba Brahe (1596–1674) who came quite close to becoming queen (she had a doomed relationship with the young Prince Gustav Adolf). This is her 'lusthus' or summerhouse on an islet at the Bockhammar ironworks in Skinnskatteberg. It stands today in exactly the same delightful spot it was built in 1636, making it arguably the country's oldest pavilion.
