Travel back to 19th-century Gothenburg. On this city walking tour, we meet the wholesaler, philanthropist, and later estate owner August Abrahamson – long before Nääs became his life’s work.
We move from Brunnsparken through the city’s historical quarters to Stora Nygatan 17 ½, the address where August lived during his years in Gothenburg. It was here that his path was shaped – from a young merchant to one of the significant cultural figures of his time. It was not until his 50s that he left the city, purchased Nääs, and laid the foundation for what would become a center for crafts and education.
The guide is Gunilla Hallset, antiquarian at Nääs Castle.
Please note that guided tours are conducted in Swedish.
