Finnmarkens Hembygdsgard - Dalarna County/Sweden

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

The following pictures were taken at Finnmarkens Hembygdsgard in Dalarna/Sweden, an old settlement founded by Finnish immigrants in the 18th and 19th century.

I do not exactly know how long this place was still inhabited, but it looks like people have lived there until mid 20th century. Please feel free to drop a note, if you know more about that!

Once a year the so-called Mottifest is still celebrated at Finnmarkens Hembygdsgard.

The settlement lies on a small hill as you can see on this panorama picture:

Not really what fortresses are made of, but an interesting fence:

Some details about the woodworking technique:

You can take a look into the shacks, and there is still a lot of old interior. Here are some very old sleighs:

Here you can see the largest shack, the so-called "Loge":

Some rather outdated chainsaws have been left behind:
