Explore the Finngården settlement at Skansen, featuring buildings moved and reconstructed from three villages in Värmland.

Finngården, situated in Skansen, provides a glimpse into the rural past. The buildings were moved from three villages - Örtjärnshöjden and Vittjärn in Lekvattnets socken, and Långnäs in Gräsmarks socken in Värmland.

The settlement consists of a rökstuga, ria, kokhus, stolpbod, and loge. The dwelling house is a knuttimrad rökstuga without a chimney, featuring a brick hearth where the smoke path opens inside the house.

This attraction allows visitors to see buildings from the Värmland region as they appear on the Skansen site.
