Geocache Description:

This cache is a part of the Nolhaga Conquest Multi-cache. To find the NC you also need to visit 4 other caches in the area:

In the cache you will find a pink note (Please don’t remove it). On the note you will find a question or a riddle and the answer will give you a part of the coordinates needed for the Nolhaga Conquest.

There is usually a lot of people in the area so be very careful when approaching this cache.

History:
In the end of 1720 a manor-house was built on the same spot as where the castle stands today. It was a two-storied house of wood with a high stone base with 20 rooms.
When Claes Adelsköld bought Nolhaga 1877 it had changed hands constantly and therefore the house was in a really bad shape and had to be pulled down. The castle existing today was built 1879-1880 and was designed as an Italian neo-classicistic house by Adrian Peterson, an architect from Göteborg.
1921 Alingsås municipality took over Nolhaga castle and after that it has had several functions. In the thirties and forties it acted as a hotel, refugee camp and home for needed. Between 1951-1969 the county councils school of trading was situated here. Since 1970 the local cultural lay assessors has rented the castle and used it as its art gallery.

The cache is after replacement a 0,7 litre food container, and contains from start (except stash note, log-book and pen) some mixed stuff.

Good luck! Svenouis
