Rottneros park was created around an idea of making art and artful gardens available to the public. The creator, Svante PÃ¥hlson, rebuilt the manor after a fire in 1929 and bought artwork from Nordic artists, including Gustav Vigeland. The park has changed a bit over the years of course, and the new idea gardens feature was delightful.

Here are some photos from the park, just to give you an idea of how it looks:
