The Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland

The farmhouses of Hälsingland are a cultural heritage and an example of traditional Swedish construction technique. The magnificent dwelling houses of the farms mainly represent the construction style of the 19th century, but there are also older farms with low, unpainted houses built in a square shape around the yard, as well as start-of-the-20th-century buildings with rich 'carpenters joy' and large porches.

These houses were built using only wood, and are an expression of the popular architecture; the farmer's way of building as it evolved according to the available means.
