Discover country life in the city

Located in the heart of central Alingsås, within the beautiful Nolhaga Park, Nolhaga lantgård is a charming rural oasis with free admission, popular among both locals and visitors. Stroll along scenic walking paths surrounded by lush pastures and farm animals in a peaceful countryside setting. In the popular petting area, visitors of all ages can get up close to the animals, and the area is also home to an active beekeeping association. At Nolhaga lantgård, you are welcome to visit the animals every day, all year round. Children can also learn more about farm life and animals through a variety of recurring activities and educational experiences.

Feeding the animals

 

We know that many visitors enjoy feeding the animals, and on some occasions we may invite guests to take part in the feeding sessions — however, this cannot be guaranteed.

Your best chance to experience animal feeding is by visiting Nolhaga lantgård between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM, when the animals are usually given their afternoon meal.

Please note that visitors are not allowed to feed the animals on their own, as incorrect or excessive food can make them seriously ill.

At Nolhaga lantgård, you will meet animals that are part of an important conservation effort. The farm is home to traditional Swedish heritage breeds such as Värmland sheep, Göinge goats, Gotland rabbits, Linderöd pigs, and Hedemora chickens — rare native breeds that play a vital role in preserving Sweden’s cultural heritage and biodiversity.

The farm is also home to barn cats and two Dexter cows. In the petting area, both children and adults can get up close to the animals and experience rural life in a simple and natural way.

During spring, the farm comes alive with newborn animals. Visitors can meet curious goat kids, lambs, baby rabbits, and chicks as they take their very first steps and explore the world around them. It’s an irresistibly charming experience that has become a favourite highlight for many visitors and makes every visit even more memorable.
