    The sculpture fountain "The Water Carrier" has been standing in front of Nolhaga Castle again since 2005. The work of art, cast from zinc, was made in the 1880s on the commission of Claes Adelsköld. The poorly preserved original was removed around 1990, and in 2005 - financed by the Savings Bank Foundation for Culture - the sculpture was recast and reinstalled. It depicts a hunchbacked man with a leather belt and hammer, carrying a large barrel on his shoulders from which water flows. The original sculpture was probably cast in Fridolf Thorssin's workshop in Alingsås, possibly in an imported mold.
