The Water Carrier
Alingsås
The sculpture The Water Carrier, dating back to the 1880s, was reinstalled in 2005 and proudly stands in front of Nolhaga Castle. This historic piece, crafted from zinc and cast materials, was originally commissioned by the notable engineer and politician Claes Adelsköld.
The Water Carrier beautifully captures a moment of daily life from a bygone era, symbolizing the essential role of water in the community. The sculpture is complemented by a charming fountain, adding a dynamic element that brings the artwork to life. Its restoration and reinstatement reflect a dedication to preserving cultural heritage while enhancing the serene surroundings of Nolhaga Castle.
