Audio Guide of Nolhaga Castle

Nolhaga Park is open 24 hours a day, making it ideal for morning or evening walks. However, the exhibitions inside the castle and the art gallery are usually open from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, though hours vary by season and current exhibition, so I recommend checking Alingsås Tourism before you go.

I have great news! Access to the gardens, the park, and the children's farm is completely free. Admission to the art exhibitions inside the castle is also generally free, making it a very affordable cultural outing.

I recommend setting aside between 1 and 2 hours for a full visit. That will give you enough time to explore the art exhibition inside the building, stroll peacefully through the English-style gardens, and visit the adjacent animal farm.

Built in 1880 in the Italian Neo-Renaissance style, the castle is a symbol of the town's industrial prosperity. The area is historically linked to Jonas Alströmer, known for popularizing the potato in Sweden, and today the building serves as a vibrant cultural center.

Spring and summer are the best times to see the gardens in full bloom and enjoy outdoor activities. That said, autumn offers spectacular scenery when the trees in the beech forest change color, making it ideal for photography.

Yes, the site is well adapted, with access ramps and an elevator to reach the upper floors where the exhibitions are held. In addition, the park's main paths are wide and suitable for wheelchairs.

You are just steps from the center of Alingsås, known as the "Capital of Fika." After visiting the castle, it is almost a must to head into the historic center and enjoy coffee with a cinnamon bun in one of its famous traditional cafés.

Wear comfortable shoes, because the forest trails and the surroundings of Lake Mjörn are worth exploring on foot. If the weather is good, make the most of the designated picnic areas on the lawn in front of the castle for an authentic Swedish experience.
