Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, was appointed as Nordens Ark Supreme Protector in 1989.
The dwelling house at the manor was built in 1729, and parts of the 60-metre (200 ft) barn, the largest timbered structure in Bohuslän, are believed to date back to the 17th century.
[1] Quarantine and breeding take place in a separate part of the park called Lunden, which is not accessible to the public.
Nordens Ark has participated or is currently taking part in re-population projects, to release animals born at the facility into the wild, including the white stork, eagle owl, bell frog, otter, European wildcat, and lynx.
The park has a national responsibility for rearing and reintroduction of the white-backed woodpecker, peregrine falcon, green toad, lesser white-fronted goose, and several species of beetle.
