Welcome to a meeting place many thousands of years old, which tells a part of the exciting history of Västernorrland. Take in the landscape and the views.

The exhibition at the Nolby Högar site narrates the area's long history. Here, you can learn about how land uplift has changed the landscape over time and how people have used this place for thousands of years.

The grand, fairy-tale castle-like main building in Timrå was built in 1883–1885 as a summer residence for the timber magnate Fredrik Bünsow, who was one of Sweden's most powerful timber barons at the time. The architects were Isak Gustaf Clason and Fritz Eckert. Clason is known for designing the Nordic Museum and Hallwyl Palace in Stockholm. The beautiful castle (or Villa Merlo, as it is actually called) is now a cultural heritage site and houses Svenska Cellulosa's central archive. In the summer, you can take a guided tour to see the many rooms and halls that still retain their former glory. Even the garden alone is well worth a visit.
