Luossastugan, Literary museum in Skattlösberg, Sweden

Luossastugan is a small cottage east of Skattlösberg in Dalarna, made up of a kitchen, a chamber and a loft. Since 1944 it has been a memorial house to the poet Dan Andersson, kept in its original state with his desk, bookcase and guitar. The whole Andersson family of six lived here from 1912 to 1915.

Adolf Andersson, Dan Andersson's father, taught at Skattlösberg school until 1905, then supported the family as a crofter and shoemaker. The family lived in this cottage from 1912 to 1915, six people in a kitchen, a chamber and a loft. Dan Andersson wrote much of Kolarhistorier and Kolvaktarens visor here. In 1944 the cottage became a memorial room, kept by Skattlösbergs bygdegille.

The name Luossa comes from the nearby lake and the poem "Omkring tiggar'n från Luossa"; locals have always spelled it with one "s", while the double "s" was Dan Andersson's own spelling. Since 1944 the cottage has been a memorial run by Skattlösbergs bygdegille, and in summer a troubadour performs songs and stories about Andersson.

Access to the site involves a short walk along a small path from the parking area to the house, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Visits are mainly available during summer months, and guided tours provide additional context.

Every first Sunday in August, hundreds of people gather for an annual memorial celebration at this location. This event reveals the place's continued meaning in the local community.
