About this audio guide
This guide to Gunnebo Palace and Gardens, outside Gothenburg, follows John Hall the younger, who inherited his father's trading house and this neoclassical summer estate in eighteen oh two. It opens on a single day in March eighteen oh seven and a cash box with far too little in it. Along the way you meet a rival merchant, a Gothenburg court, and a son who would not let go. Best heard facing the house from the garden.
