When Jonas Ahlströmer returned to Alingsås after spending some time abroad he bought Nolhaga Manor. During his time there the manor had a mill, tobacco plantations and brickworks. It was here that they planted the first potato in Sweden, in 1724. Claes Adelsköld bought Nolhaga manor in the 1870s and rebuilt it in Italian Renaissance style. The city of Alingsås has been the owner of the manor since 1921 and has used it as a dancing salon and business school. It has also been the city's art centre since 1970. There is also an animal park with Swedish and foreign animals, and a farm-animal park for little children during the summer. Nolhaga manor is open Tuesday to Sunday. A local train will take you from Gothenburg to Alingsås and then bus 571 goes from Alingsås to Nolhaga Skola.
