Description

www.molndal.se. Gunnebo "the finest and most precious little tree structure built in the nation” is in the centre of both the tourism and culture in Mölndal. This late 18th century manor was built as a retreat for the wealthy Göteborg merchant John Hall. The manor has been restored to much of its former splendour and is a popular place to visit.
 
 
 
In Mölndal you will find education ranging from kindergarten to upper secondary school, as well as culture schools and adult education. The ambition is to achieve a life-long learning for the citizens of Mölndal.
The city has been developing its schools for a long period of time, in part through the student’s input, in part through participating in various projects and of course through yearly quality reviews.
 
 
 
The City of Mölndal has, as so many other industrial cities, gone through metamorphisms. Several hundreds of years ago there were a multitude of mills in the ”Valley of the Mills”; Mölndal. In the 17th century the proceeds from these mills paid the administration in the newly founded Göteborg.
Today the mills are gone, but Mölndal still contributes to the development of high-tech industry in the Göteborg region. Many of the most research-intensive companies are to be found in the city of Mölndal.
