Gunnebo House, Mölndal, Sweden

The Gunnebo estate consists of a main building from the end of the 18th century, built by John Hall, and drawn by city architect Carl Wilhelm Carlberg in a Neoclassical architecture. Gunnebo has one of Sweden's finest and best preserved baroque gardens. The 18th century interior was recreated in the 1950s, when Mölndal Municipality bought the estate. The last private owner, Mrs. Hilda Sparre, died in 1948. Several original furnishings were brought back to Gunnebo during the 20th century.

Both king Gustav III of Sweden and Marie Thérèse of France visited the Hall family at Gunnebo. King Gustav V visited Hilda Sparre at the House in the early 20th century. In June 2001 guests of the EU-summit in Gothenburg, among whom United States president George W Bush, visited Gunnebo House.

The parks are open to the public and the interior of the House can be seen with a guided tour. Guided tours are offered for visitors the year around and there is also a shop and a restaurant. Every summer, an open air theatre is held in the gardens.

Disappointing Julbord experience unfortunately. Unorganised reception, mediocre menu for the price & offensive serving for wine package. The food was fine, edible but forgettable. 695kr per person gets you Raw Carrot Salad & pumpkin purée (cold dish) Egg cream pickled vegetables & smoked fish (Cold dish) Wild Board cabbage lentils tomatoes white sauce (Warm dish) Like I said, food was ok but the serving portions for the 395kr wine package was upsetting. 395kr gets you 3 glasses of lovely natural wines. It’s just such a shame a serving is not even half a glass. The 3 “glasses” served would make up 1 glass really. Beautiful surroundings, cosy restaurant, disappointing experience for Christmas. 5/10

One of the best places I've gone to in Gothenburg! The place is very peaceful and the nature is absolutely beautiful! You can have a very nice long around and will never get bored of the breathtaking view. I would only go there in summer or when it's sunny and not rainy tho :)

Kakesbeck Castle

Kakesbeck is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Münsterland and the oldest castle in Lüdinghausen. The imposingly grown complex originated in 1120 as a motte, a small hilltop tower castle. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle was extended onto two islands, but it was not until the 14th century that it underwent significant alterations and extensions under the von Oer family. The estate experienced its heyday in the middle of the 18th century, when it covered an area of almost one square kilometre and consisted of five further outer castles in addition to the core castle, which were secured by ramparts and moats.

The well-maintained condition of the castle today is thanks to the late Wilfried Grewing, the former lord of the castle. The foundation named after him has been particularly committed to preserving the property since 2020.
