Some information about the outstanding car museum which has been created at Sparreholm Castle. From the beginning Helge Karinen living in Skellefteå, northern Sweden, collected cars and other technical things. With his partner he took over a school in Svanefors where a car museum was built up. Helge earned a fortune on his inventions and created an investment company, Karolin Invest, after his partner Birger Lundberg had died. He worked after the principle to by companies with good ideas and lack of money. He developed this and could then sell with good profit. Two invention ideas like the backloader and the four wheel controlled truck gave his start. 1995 he reorganized his company Karolin Invest to Investment Company Atle. Here he became one of the main owners. Of course he got lots of money. Money must to be invested. The Sparreholm Castle had during many years been owned by money weak owners, was for sale. When Helge retired the castle was bought 1997. His car museum from Skellefteå was moved to a renovated side building on the castle area 1998. In the same time the Sparreholm Company was changed and all means were moved. Anna Karinen took over the leadership for all activities. Now you can find a car museum, old cycles and mc:s, wagons and a stable for horses, one Café and old time music boxes. All these depends of the collections Helge earlier has gathered. 2014, at my visit the old man Helge took part in the museum showing and was active talking with the visitors. A good advice is to visit this car museum as the collection easily can be sold for other projects when father Helge no longer can control the activities. For pictures and links see Swedish version. At my visit 2015 the exhibition hall now hold to many cars and it is no area enough to study them. |
