The Palm House was constructed in 1878 using cast iron and glass, requiring over 1,000 square meters of glass.
The rose garden is recognized for holding one of the most significant collections of roses in Northern Europe.
The park was originally established by the Gothenburg Horticultural Society under the patronage of King Carl XIV Johan.
A portion of the original 17th-century bastion walls remains visible within the park's layout.
The park hosts an annual rose festival when blooms are at their peak, typically during mid-summer.
The Palm House underwent a major restoration in the 1980s to preserve its original Victorian architectural integrity.
Trädgårdsföreningen, established in 1842, is one of Europe's best-preserved 19th-century parks, located in the heart of Gothenburg. The centerpiece is the Palm House, a 19th-century glass structure inspired by London's Crystal Palace. The park features an extensive rose garden containing thousands of roses representing over 1,000 varieties. It serves as a botanical garden with a focus on historical landscaping and rare exotic plants. The grounds are designated as a protected cultural heritage site. The park occupies approximately 13 hectares of land once used for military fortifications. It houses a cafe and several historic buildings that remain in active use.
