Go on a Digital Quiz Trail in lovely surroundings, with ten questions to puzzle out about Gunnebo.

This thought-provoking exhibition explores our perceptions of dirt and cleanliness, body taboos, social norms, and everyday habits and traditions. On display throughout 2026.

Just next to Mölndals museum in Kvarnbyn is Returum Second Hand, with reasonably priced books, clothes, household items and electronics. The focus is on re-use and giving both things and people a second chance. 

Next to the manor lie the award winning Jonsereds Gardens, which have been recreated with their historic heritage from the 19th century in mind. You’ll meet everything from traditional summer flowers and perennials to austere privet hedges and arbours of sweetly scented rose bushes. 

At the heart of Jonsereds Fabriker lies Gibsons Hotell, where you get the best of both worlds. Proximity to the city but also the peace of the countryside, with lots of lovely nature to explore. 

Jonsered’s Butik Botanik and Jonsered's Butik Fabrik offer a carefully curated selection of plants, garden accessories and home décor. Botanik is located by Jonsered Gardens, while Fabrik can be found in the historic mill buildings.
