Gunnebo castle
Gunnebo House is one of Sweden's best and stylistically one
of the purest examples of neo-classical architecture. It is
beautifully situated between two lakes, Rådasjön and Stensjön,
in the Municipality of Mölndal, just south of Gothenburg. At
the moment they are restoring parts of the castle. This is a
webcamera following the work.
Oh! Beg my pardon. I forgot to tell you Sweden is GMT +1 so
the picture is black during our nights.
Universeum
Please visit this place and go up to the top of building. From there you
are able to watch a little creek from north of sweden with salmon trout
and other wild life belonging here. Under roof you've got a jungle with
the right climate and animals from south america. You will not regret
the visit.
