Gunnebo Slott

Getting around: Gunnebo Slott is in Mölndal, just south of Gothenburg. Take tram 4 to Mölndal, then a connecting bus, or drive (about 15-20 minutes from central Gothenburg). Seasonal shuttle buses sometimes run directly from the city center in summer.
Hours: The park and gardens are open year-round during daylight hours, free of charge. The main house is open for guided tours seasonally, typically spring through autumn — check ahead for exact dates and tour times, as winter access to the interior is limited.

Gunnebo Slott is a late-18th-century neoclassical country house just outside Gothenburg, built for a wealthy merchant family and notable for being constructed almost entirely of wood made to look like stone. It sits within extensive gardens that combine an English landscape park with formal kitchen and herb gardens.

The estate is as much about the grounds as the house itself — there's a working organic kitchen garden, orchards, and woodland walking paths, making it a popular half-day outing for Gothenburg residents as well as visitors.
