Secondly, because it is the largest palace in the world, which to this day is the royal residence. The building of the palace is built in the style of northern baroque and is unlikely to shock the lovers of architecture. Rather, it will produce a grim and oppressive impression. But the changing of the guard, which occurs in the summer every day, and the rest of the year only on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, will surely attract the attention of tourists.
