Klasatorpet

Klasatorpet is a farm in Emmaboda Municipality with several wooden buildings dating to around 1804, including a main house, stables, a barn, and an earth cellar. The interiors are furnished to show how residents lived and worked on the property during that era.

The farm was founded in the early 1800s and takes its name from Per Klase, a former cavalryman who lived there as a tenant. Church records from 1827 mark the first official documentation of the property.

The farm shows how tenant farmers lived and worked in the 1800s, trading their labor for a home on the land. The buildings and their contents tell the story of daily life built around work, family, and survival on a small property.

The outdoor areas are open year-round, while guided tours of the furnished rooms run from late June through late August. Wear comfortable shoes and check the current opening times before visiting to plan your tour.

The farm served as a filming location for the 1966 movie adaptation of The Emigrants, which led to its restoration as an open-air museum. This film connection brought cultural attention to the site and helped preserve it for future visitors.
