Bust of Alfred Nobel at Björkborn
During the summers of 1894–1896 Alfred Nobel lived in the manor house Björkborn. Even though he died in his villa in Sanremo , Italy and had a home in Paris , it was decided that his residence was at Björkborn in Karlskoga. This allowed Nobel’s will to be adjudicated in Karlskoga. The manor was included in the purchase when Alfred Nobel acquired Bofors-Gullspång in 1894.[9] [10] [11]
Before he had moved in, his nephew, Hjalmar Nobel, conducted a renovation of the building.[12]
The creation of the Nobel Foundation was led from Björkborn Manor by Ragnar Sohlman .[13]
A major part of Alfred Nobel’s private library is still preserved at this site.[14]
