Mariebergsskogen

Mariebergsskogen is a large city park with gardens, exhibition spaces, playgrounds, and natural areas along Lake Vänern's waterfront. The park includes multiple sections, among them a farm animal area and an outdoor museum with historic buildings.

In 1896, doctor Conrad Höck left instructions to his sister Ebba Treffenberg to donate the land to Karlstad for preservation as a public space. The outdoor museum was later established in 1925, gathering traditional buildings to this location.

The outdoor museum displays traditional buildings from the Värmland region, showing how local architecture reflects the way people lived and worked in this area. Walking through these structures gives visitors a sense of regional life and building practices from the past.

The park is open year-round without admission fees and offers multiple dining options on site. Visitors can ice skate in winter, while summer brings mini-golf and other recreational activities.

Lillskogen, the farm animal section, houses Swedish native breeds such as cows, ponies, and goats in a natural setting. These animals offer visitors a glimpse into the agricultural tradition and rural heritage of the region.
