The Gustafs Skål Historical Society was founded in 1993 by a group of passionate enthusiasts committed to preserving the rich and distinctive history of the Gustavian era, the time of King Gustaf III of Sweden. Since then, we’ve been devoted to bringing the years 1772-1792 to life.
Today, our members come from across Sweden and beyond, united by a shared fascination with the elegance, ideas and cultural brilliance of the 18th century. We warmly welcome all friends of this remarkable period.
Our main focus is the Gustavian era – a golden cultural age of Swedish culture and creativity that continues to inspire. Whether you’re drawn to historical lectures and courses or the immersive joy of stepping into another century, there’s a place for you in Gustafs Skål. After all, the 18th century belongs to everyone!
