About the venue: Nääs Slott

Nääs Slott is a well-preserved 18th-century castle on the banks of the Säve river in Lerum, just east of Göteborg. It gained historical significance in the 1870s as the birthplace of Sweden's sloyd (craft education) movement, hosting one of the country's first teacher-training programmes in woodwork. Today the estate is used for conferences, weddings and cultural events.
