Gamla Linkoping
Gamla Linköping is an open air museum in Linköping , Sweden . The museum shows what a small town looked like in Sweden about a hundred years ago.
There are more than ninety houses and buildings in Gamla Linköping. The buildings all come from downtown Linköping and have been moved here. The houses had to give way to new buildings. The houses are still inhabited today, so the museum looks more like an ancient city district. The cobblestones , lanterns and red fences that were common in Sweden about a hundred years ago have also been preserved.
Small museums are set up in various houses. In detail these are:
- Baron von Lingens Hof: The wooden house was built in 1724. The facility has been reconstructed from a state of 1820.
