The Grotto in Hagaparken is not a natural cave, but rather the entrance to a tunnel carved into the rock. This tunnel was part of an unrealized water system project, intended to supply water to a planned royal stable. The system was to use a pump and a water reservoir at the top of the hill, and potentially create a waterfall (cascade) visible from King Gustav III's pavilion. Work on the tunnel began in 1786, but the project was never completed, and the water level in the nearby Brunnsviken bay dropped in 1863, cutting off the tunnel from the water. Currently, only rainwater is found in the Grotto. The Grotto is part of the historic Haga Park, managed by the Swedish National Property Board.

A small "cave" which was supposed to bring water to the nearby stables in the eighteenth century

Incomplete cave from the 1780s that was supposed to bring water for the horses that would have been living on the viewpoint, on top of the rocks, and there is also the horizontal tunnel that would have brought water from the lake. When coming to the cave you'd feel a very, very cold breeze and strong smell of underground humidity. If it would have been completed as King Gustav III had imagined, today this would have been quite different place than it is now.
