The last day of The Crown Princess Couple's first joint visit to Västergötland
The Crown Princess Couple began Saturday 23 October by attending a seminar given by UNA Sweden in connection with UN Day in Gothenburg.
They then continued to Brogården
in Alingsås. Brogården is a residential area that was built between 1971 and 1973 as part of Sweden's Million Programme.
Brogården has now been converted into passive housing, i.e. well-insulated buildings that are largely heated by energy that is already contained in the building.

In the afternoon they visited Varnhem Abbey. The Romanesque-Gothic abbey is the resting place of Birger Jarl, who founded Stockholm, and — according to tradition — four other Swedish mediaeval kings.
The Crown Princess Couple rounded off their Västergötland visit at Gothia Science Park in Skövde. The idea behind Gothia Science Park is to offer a combined innovative environment for companies with ambitions of growth.
