The Stora Katrinelund Manor has lineage from the mid 1600s. The District Court Judge Volrath Tham took over the Manor during the 1680s and he had built, the oldest parts of, the present building 1696.

Year 1749 took the Trader Gustaf Cahman over the Manor and gave it its name, Stora Katrinelund. In the late 1700s was the Manor house prolonged in both ends.

In 1799 the Manor was sold to Lars Georg Levgren and was than owned by the Levgren family until 1898.

The Manor had during the 1800s its own little port basin in Mölndalsån (the Mölndal stream) with two basin doors towards the stream. The basin were located where the Valhalla sports ground is located today.

In Stora Katrinelund today the August Kobbs practical upper secondary school runs an education focused on park and landscape gardening (praktiskt gymnasium inriktad på park och trädgård i stadsmiljö). A perfect accommodation for this kind of education!

This cache is placed in honour of the CITO event "Bike 'n hike in Göteborg".

Have a pleasant little walk in those historical surroundings.

Önskar dig en trevlig promenad i dessa historiska omgivningar.
