Klasatorpet

The farmstead contains several wooden buildings including a main house, stables, a barn, and an earth cellar constructed around 1804.

Per Klase, a former cavalryman, became the first documented resident of the property, leading to its registration as Klasatorpet in church records of 1827.

The farm demonstrates the living conditions of 19th-century Swedish tenant farmers who exchanged labor for their residence through a weekly work agreement.

The outdoor sections remain open throughout the year, while guided tours of the furnished interiors operate from late June through late August.

The property gained recognition as a filming location for the 1966 adaptation of The Emigrants, leading to its restoration and transformation into an open-air museum.
