Relax, shop and celebrate in The Linnaeus Garden
Relax, shop & celebrate
The Linnaeus Garden is the place to find peace and silence in the middle of the busy town centre. The garden and the directors lodge are gems to all garden lovers as well as historians.
Due to the building of new visitor center there will be neither a museum shop or otudoor seating area in the garden in the beginning of the summer of 2023. There are many nice coffehouses and restaurants in the blocks surrounding the garden, though.
The orangery is the perfect venue for private or business events in a historic environment.
