The creator of Nolhaga is the entrepreneur Jonas Alströmer, one of the six founders of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He expanded the central building of his estate into a manor house in 1725 and surrounded it with a remarkable garden. Plants from all over the world were brought to Nolhaga and grown under Alströmer's care. After his death, the estate went into slow decline. The railway contractor Claes Adelsköld, who had acquired the estate in 1877, had the dilapidated main building demolished in 1879-1880 and a new one built, a patrician villa in the Italian neo-Renaissance style, designed by the architect Adrian C. Peterson. Adelsköld's villa is now popularly known as Nolhaga Castle. The current park is largely due to Adelsköld's efforts. The area became open to the public when the city of Alingsås acquired the castle and park in 1921. Nolhaga Castle, which has recently been renovated, houses a restaurant.

Beautiful landscape and nice people

The market square is divided in two by a river. Worth seeing: the old town hall in candy pink and the city museum. Tasty: Triumf Glasscafe with interesting types of ice cream, e.g. raspberry/liquorice 😋

The castle park in Alingsås attracts many weekend tourists. A park with lots of water and playgrounds, a petting zoo and a pretty castle with a café, there is something for every age group.
