About Änggården
What are the main landmarks in Änggården?
Nature is the headline here. Änggården is known for its botanical and garden grounds and sits within reach of the Göteborgs Naturhistoriska museum, the city's natural history collection in the parkland nearby. The neighbouring quarters of Olivedal and Linnéstaden, with their cafés and shops, are a short walk away.
What is the history of Änggården?
Open meadows gave it a name. Änggården began as a farm on the outskirts of Gothenburg, first named in 1619, and was gradually drawn into the city as gardens, a great hospital and institutions filled the once-rural ground. The fields gave way slowly. Its green, low-built character has held on far better than in the denser inner districts.
Where is Änggården?
Parkland defines its edges. Änggården lies just south of central Gothenburg, on fairly level ground between Slottsskogen to the north-west and the Änggårdsbergen hills to the south and east.
