19 Riddarhuset House of Nobles in Stockholm, Sweden

Construction of this stunning Baroque building named Riddarhuset began in 1641. It was the House of Nobility, also called the Knights’ House. In 1866, noblemen lost their power to the country’s new parliament. However, three classes of Swedish nobility still exist: lords, knights and esquires. These titles do not have special privileges but do convey social status. The Riddarhuset institution maintains records of all past noble families.
