Villa Villekulla, Children's literature attraction in Kneippbyn, Sweden.
Villa Villekulla is a yellow wooden house with green trim located at Kneippbyn Resort, displaying characteristics of traditional Swedish architecture. The building serves as the central feature of the resort and functions as a backdrop for theatrical performances and visitor experiences.
The original building was constructed in 1902 as an officer's residence near Visby. Following the success of the Pippi Longstocking television series, the house was relocated to Kneippbyn in 1970.
The house brings to life Astrid Lindgren's literary creation, where Pippi Longstocking lives with her horse and monkey, Mr. Nilsson. Visitors can see the home of a character that has made generations of children laugh.
Access to the house is through the main entrance of Kneippbyn Resort, where visitors need an admission ticket for the grounds. During summer months, daily theatrical performances bring the literary adventure to life for guests.
A tree on the property produces Sockerdricka, a traditional Swedish soft drink that strengthens the connection between the real location and the fictional story. This special detail makes the place an interesting experience that goes beyond simply viewing the house.
