The old wooden town Gamla Linköping In this part of the open-air museum, there are around 100 buildings that were moved here from the center of Linköping in the 1940s and 1950s. The small town district features narrow alleys, courtyards, and market squares, almost everywhere paved with cobblestones. In addition, you'll find cafés, small craft shops, a chocolate museum, and a school and bank museum (sometimes a bank robbery is even staged). Moreover, you can visit a weaving mill, stop by the bookbinder, take a look into a woodwind instrument workshop, or meditate in an herb garden. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the three wooden towns that still exist in Sweden today: Nora in Bergslagen, Hjo on Lake Vättern, and Eksjö in Småland. https://www.schwedentipps.se/oestergoetland/gamla-linkoeping/

Gamla Linköping is an open-air museum in Linköping, Sweden. The museum shows what a small town in Sweden looked like about a hundred years ago. There are more than ninety houses and buildings in Gamla Linköping. The buildings all come from the city center of Linköping and have been moved here. The houses had to make way for new constructions. The houses are still inhabited today, which makes the museum seem more like an old-fashioned town district. Also preserved are the cobblestones, the lanterns, and the red fences as they were common in Sweden about a hundred years ago. Small museums are set up in various houses. Specifically: Baron von Lingens Hof: The wooden house was built in 1724. The furnishings have been reconstructed according to a standard from 1820. Carin Nilson's Villa: It is the childhood home of the sculptor Carin Nilson. The house was built in 1882. The furnishings date from the early twentieth century. Solliden: a worker's dwelling from the 1920s. Albin Andersson lived here with his wife Lisa and his son Nils. Albin Andersson was a lumberjack and forest worker. School Museum: It was the first school for girls in Linköping. Three classrooms and the teacher's apartment can be seen as they looked about a hundred years ago. Ropery: It is the office building of the ropery, one of the largest factories in Linköping a hundred years ago. In the back part of the house, the production of ropes is demonstrated. General Store: In 1873, the first shop was opened in this house. Today, candies are sold in paper bags as they were a hundred years ago. Apothecary: shows an apothecary and its furnishings as they were about a hundred years ago. There is also an inn (Wärdshuset) with an old bowling alley and the Cafe Dahlberg. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamla_Link%C3%B6ping
