A Timeless Garden Paradise

N

Nestled on Sweden’ s picturesque west coast, just outside the charming town of Båstad, lies Norrviken— a destination where nature, culture and history come together.
Overlooking the shimmering Kattegat Sea and embraced by the lush forests and rolling ridges of Sweden’ s western coastal landscape, Norrviken is a place of breathtaking contrasts— where untamed nature meets meticulously designed gardens, and where tranquility and inspiration go hand in hand.
Norrviken was founded in 1906 by Swedish horticulturist Rudolf Abelin, whose passion for gardens and landscapes led him to create a botanical masterpiece. Inspired by gardens from around the world, he designed Norrviken as a harmonious blend of different styles, each garden with its own distinct character.
