Åmål is actually the only
real city in Dalsland and it was founded by Queen Kristina in 1643. Even though
the town was partly destroyed by fires several times during the centuries, have
many of its old buildings survived to the present day. Worth a visit are the
two old mansions, Vågmästaregården and Dalgrensgården,
both from the 18th century. Also worth a visit is the Örnäs park with
a small zoo and an old homestead museum. Åmål has several other
museums of considerable interest :
