No architect has played as important a role in Swedish history! He has designed palaces, churches and gardens for princes and nobles in Sweden and abroad. This book consists of eight chapters which describe Tessin as an architect, landscape gardener, politician, traveller, collector and writer. A concluding chapter outlines the importance of Tessin for architects and town-planners up until today. John Kimmich’s architectural photographs provide a suite of pictorial interpretations of Tessin’s architecture.
