Borgarhuset
Borgarhuset ( Eng . Town house), also Cajsa Wargs hus , is a wooden house from the 17th century. It is located in the Wadköping Open Air Museum in Örebro , Sweden . It has been a listed building ( byggnadsminne ) since 2000 .
history
Originally the house was located in the center of Örebro at Kyrkogatan 4. It was a guest house ( gästabudsstuga ) belonging to a larger courtyard with a guest room and a banqueting room on the upper floor.
At the beginning of the 18th century the house belonged to Anders and Catharina Warg. In 1703 they had a daughter, whom they named Christina. Christina later became known under the name Cajsa Warg as the editor of the cookbook Hjelpreda i Hushållningen för unga Fruentimber . The book was published in 14 editions and also internationally.
When the new post and telegraph house was to be built in place of the Borgarhuset, there were two options: demolition or relocation. The latter was chosen and the house was transported to the city park (Stadsparken) on Lars Bohms udde . There it was next to the Kungsstugan . The house was relocated again on the occasion of the construction of the Wadköping Open-Air Museum in 1965.
The museum dedicates an exhibition to Cajsa Warg called Cajsa Warg Skafferi .
architecture
The house has two floors and was considered a representative home for a bourgeois family at the time. There are two rooms on each floor, one larger and one smaller. The house originally had an arbor for access to the upper floor, but today there are stairs in the house in the two smaller rooms. Magnificent wall and ceiling paintings from the beginning of the 18th century have been preserved in the festival room on the upper floor. The motifs are birds, vines, branches with red cherries, tulips and fantasy flowers.
