Villa Odinslund, Historic building in Gårda district, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Villa Odinslund is a building with a garden in the Gårda district of Gothenburg, now serving as an events and meetings space. It features multiple rooms including a main hall for larger gatherings and conference areas equipped with modern technology.
The house was originally built for the Kobb family and served as a private residence for many years. Over time it was gradually converted into an events venue while its original architectural features were preserved.
The villa was designed by Adolf Wilhelm Edelsvärd, an architect whose work shaped Gothenburg's built environment. His design approach is still visible in the building's details and reflects the city's architectural traditions.
The location sits about ten minutes from the Swedish Fair and Liseberg amusement park, making it easy to reach. Visitors should know that the garden and terraces can be used for outdoor activities, making the space flexible for different needs.
The house was long known only as a private residence and many visitors overlook that it is now open for public use. This transformation shows how historic homes can take on new roles in the modern city.
