The composite buildings of Älvrosgården on Skansen

Älvrosgården is a cultural-historical farm built on Skansen in Djurgården, Stockholm, during the years 1915-1916. The farm consists of buildings from the Älvros parish in southeastern Härjedalen.

The buildings were brought together from different farms to give an image of how people lived in these regions during the 1600s and 1700s, and to some extent during the early 1800s. The main farmhouse was taken from a farm called Röjdegården, which was 1/4 mantal and included over 9 tunnland of field and 27 1/2 tunnland of meadow.

According to an inventory from 1822, the farm had an old horse, cows, calves, goats, and sheep, totaling 32 animals. This was considered a relatively ordinary livestock count for a farm of the size of Röjdegården and the later created Älvrosgården at the beginning of the 1800s.
