Swedish Architecture is known for its clean, functional, and minimalist design, which emphasizes simplicity and functionality over ornate details and decoration. Some notable examples of Swedish architecture include the 17th-century Royal Palace in Stockholm, the 20th-century Stockholm City Hall, and the contemporary Öresund Bridge, which connects Sweden and Denmark.
