Gunnebo Castle is a late 18th century summer villa located just outside Gothenburg. The villa with its interiors, furniture, gardens and surrounding buildings was designed by Gothenburg city architect Carl Wilhelm Carlberg for the wealthy Hall family. Since 1949, Gunnebo Castle has been owned by the City of Mölndal. After a major interior and exterior restoration and transformation of the formal garden in 1949-1952, Gunnebo was opened as a museum. By then, the rooms had been repainted in colors similar to those of the 18th century and furnished with a mixture of rediscovered original furniture, newly made copies after architect Carlberg's drawings and period deposits from museums in Gothenburg. However, the rooms were not fully furnished and in some parts the design was not completed. Today, a much-needed interior restoration is being carried out with the aim of securing the climate in the castle, as well as repairing damage caused by water leakage, wear and tear and the ravages of time. Eight rooms have been restored, a project funded by the City of Mölndal, the County Administrative Board of Västra Götaland and the Royal Academy of Letters. A number of rooms remain to be dealt with, including the wife's atrium, the drawing room and the two stairwells. In connection with the rooms being painted and in some cases restored to their rich 18th-century furnishings, it is important to supplement the rooms with original furniture, new textiles and objects that, according to preserved inventory lists, were in the home during the Hall family's time. The goal is a well-connected mansion environment from the Gustavian era.
