APPENDIX 3

ANGAS ESTATE: described as
A beautiful white manor house on a hill surrounded by conifer trees which were rare on
that part of the island. In earlier days Angas Gardens was a show place kept alive by family
members until eventually, when the families dispersed, it fell into disrepair.
Fortunately this stately home was brought back to its former glory by the Council and then
incorporated into the city of Gothenborg. It has been declared an estate of great historical
significance, worthy of preservation. Part of the building is used as a museum with a large
collection of maps, pictures, artifacts etc; nostalgic segments of the country’s history.
