The decorated farmhouses of Hälsingland have been a World Heritage Site since the summer of 2012, when during its meeting in St. Petersburg the World Heritage Committee took the decision to enter them on the World Heritage List.

A World Heritage Site is an environment that is considered to be entirely unique in the world and is thereby of significance for all humanity.

Each farm has its own history, and visiting just one is simply not enough! Experience the decorated farmhouses of Hälsingland – there are many ways to learn about these unique farmhouses.

The absolute biggest celebration of them all was the wedding. No expense was spared, and labor power was hired on to bake, decorate, and polish several months before it was time for the wedding festivities.
