Kycklings House is the main meeting place in the area. Visitors can roam freely in the garden, enjoying the traditional perennials, roses and other flowers. The garden also includes a herb garden and a smoke sauna. There is a carpenter’s shop in one of the buildings, and the yard area also includes the Sandbacka croft, moved to the location in 1994.

During the summer, parties and outdoor events are held in the ruins of the old cowhouse, whose unique acoustics make a special musical impression. The plants in the ruins are at their most beautiful in the late summer, with the honeysuckles in full bloom. The garden also features old useful plants, such as hops, angelica and various medicinal plants.

Inside, you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere with a cup of coffee, admiring the interiors or the geraniums in the porch window and browsing the homestead association’s books or gardening magazines.
