Greenhouses to visit in Sweden

The Verrière atlas lists 9 greenhouses in Sweden, built between 1878 and 2004.

Sweden keeps fine survivors of the iron-and-glass age. Gothenburg's Palmhuset, prefabricated in Scotland and erected in 1878, is one of the few great Victorian palm houses still standing, while in Stockholm the Bergianska garden's Victoriahuset, crowned with a cast-iron dome of 1900, was built for the giant water lily. The 1990s and 2000s brought award-winning designs: Stockholm's Edvard Anderson glasshouse (1995) and the five-level rainforest of Gothenburg's Universeum (2001). Lund University's glasshouses, now under renovation, and the Haga butterfly house, set in a former royal kitchen garden, complete the picture.
