Geschichte
Rottneros Park was developed between 1932 and 1959 by Svante PĂĄhlson, the then-owner of Rottneros Manor, with the help of garden architects Edvard Jacobson and Sven Hermelin.
The park was conceived as a place where sculptures and the natural environment would interact, reflecting the artistic and cultural ideals of the early 20th century.
Over the decades, it grew into one of Northern Europe's largest sculpture parks, incorporating works by prominent Nordic sculptors.
The manor itself is famously linked to Selma Lagerlöf's literary work, "Gösta Berlings saga," where it is known as "Ekeby." Today, the park is owned by the Greta and Svante Påhlson Memorial Foundation and operated by a municipal company, ensuring its preservation and public accessibility.
