The largest park in V\u00e4rmland<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Rottneros Park is a fantastic flower and sculpture park for many reasons. The park is laid on 22 hectares of land. There are many different environments and garden rooms to explore. Around each building there are plants and sculptures that create a special atmosphere for different rooms. It is so large that there is also room for all visitors. You will easily find a place to settle down outside the crowded areas. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Nils Holgersson’s Adventure Park contains several play attractions for older children.

Right below Fryken there is also a beach with swimming facilities, and the park’s large lawns are suitable for picnics and outdoor games.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Rottneros Park arranges Tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rdsfestival (Garden Festival or Harvest Festival) every year in September. At the end of the season, exhibitors with gardening links are coming to the park. Exhibitors and lecturers contribute to a nice weekend with a gardening theme. At the same time, many of the park’s flowers are still in bloom.

Sculptures by Christian Eriksson and Carl Eldh<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In the park there are sculpture collections by Carl Eldh and Christian Eriksson, to name but a few of the large number of represented sculptors. The sculptors were contemporaries of Carl Milles and their activities fall onto the early 1900s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We counted twelve works by Carl Eldh, seven works by Christian Eriksson. Carl Eldhs made sculptures such as August Strindberg in Tegn\u00e9rlunden and Stromkarlen in Trollhattan. Christian Eriksson was born and worked in Arvika. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His studio can be viewed at Rackstad Museum in Arvika. Christian was not only a sculptor, he was also known as a cabinet maker. Christian Eriksson\u2019s B\u00e5gsp\u00e4nnaren (Bowman) can be seen in Rottneros Park and also in the City Hall Park in Stockholm. Another famous sculpture by an artist from V\u00e4rmland is Saint Goran and Dragon (Sankt G\u00f6ran och Draken) exhibited in Stockholm City Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Animals in the park<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There used to be live animals in the park. Now the animals have taken the form of sculptures. At the entrance of the Hall of Mirrors are two stately horses. They are copies of the bronze horses that adorn the roof of St. Mark’s Church in Venice. Now live animals found in the park are only those that are small and buzzing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bees are very good for all vegetation. Speaking of the animals, you are allowed to bring your dog with you, but only if you keep it leashed and pick up after it. Special bags are available at the entrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Park founder Svante P\u00e5hlson <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The place with the Manor was Selma Lagerlof’s role model for Ekeby in Gosta Berling’s saga. Many readers and tourists come here to see the place. There, the Park founder Svante Pilsson realized that he needed to meet expectations of the Park visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He wanted to build a park that would represent the glare and splendor that Selma Lagerlof described in the novel. The views of the Park have changed over time as it developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Svante Athlsson’s own interest in sculptures grew larger over the years, and he wanted the park to become a showcase of the sculptors\u2019 work in an environment that was created particularly for that. This gave the sculptors, who lived and worked at the time, the opportunity to control what the sculptures environment around would look like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rottneros Manor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In the 1600s, many ironworks were started in V\u00e4rmland. In the area around Sunne alone there were just over ten ironworks. Selma Lagerlof wrote the Saga of G\u00f6sta Berling, as she was inspired by the time when iron works and traditions were strong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Rottneros there were ironworks and manors that grew large during the Iron Age period. During the second half of the 1800s, the interest towards Moderna waned and finally new modern ways of working with iron had taken over and the ironworks were stopped. Rottneros Ironworks was the last in Fryksdalen when it was finally closed in 1884. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rottneros Ironworks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Rottneros Ironworks survived through the changes at various times. In the beginning, it was a mechanical workshop for production of agricultural machinery. But agricultural, forestry and sawing works were also carried out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By modernizing the sawmill, Rottnero\u2019s Ironworks survived unlike many others. Today, Rottneros Ironworks is a worldwide company and Europe’s largest producer of mechanical pulp-and-paper for sale to the paper industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
