On July 23, 1780, the King of Sweden passed the city for the second time. Coming from Paris, he came to the courtyard of Holland in the evening and dined there and drove back to Sweden at 11 o'clock. On June 13, 1791, he came to the court, where he traveled through here to Aachen under the name of a Count von Haga.
Emperor Paul of Russia stayed here on July 25, 1782 to visit the Gemäldegalerie Düsseldorf .
“Yesterday we were lucky enough to see the Counts of the Nordic countries within our walls. The arrival was between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and without a certain amount of cermoniel, in that the otherwise customary ceremonies of honor were forbidden by the very same. The relegation quarters were the famous, large inn at the Hof von Holland, where even highly thought-out gentlemen stayed for a short time, visited the local electoral gallery and that night stayed in the imaginary inn. The very same ones left this town at 5 o'clock this morning and continued their journey on Coblenz. The number of strangers and neighbors who came here because of the desire to see these high rulers was so great that not all could be accommodated and many had to make their way back that same evening to find accommodation outside the city. "
