Haggården, Former care institution in Hedemora Municipality, Sweden

The Haggården complex included residential buildings, a school, agricultural facilities, and care departments spread across multiple structures in Hedemora.

Established in 1915 as a relocation from Falun, Haggården operated until 1997 as an institution for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

The facility employed 400 staff members during the 1960s and 1970s, making it one of the largest employers in Hedemora Municipality.

The property contained dedicated areas for agricultural production, including dairy farming and vegetable cultivation, ensuring food self-sufficiency.

Architect Nils Nordén designed the complex in 1912, incorporating separate pavilions along Damastvägen that were completed by 1970.
