The swedish farmhouses of Hälsingland

In the heart of Sweden, about 300 km (190 miles) north of Stockholm, lie the farmhouses of Hälsingland – large, beautiful farmsteads from the 1700s-1800s. Among the things that make the farmhouses of Hälsingland unique are their superb condition and their ornate painted interiors and woodwork features. Another characteristic is their large size, despite their proprietors being ordinary farming folk. Nowhere else in the world but Hälsingland is there such a concentration of farmsteads with large buildings and well-preserved interiors.
