description

The farm is one of the oldest farms in the district - parts of the main house were built in the mid-16th century. Since 1997 the “Smedshoff” has been a museum. The museum farm shows life on the farm in the 1930s. The spacious farmhouse in the form of a hall house combines cow and horse stables, threshing floor and apartment of the farmer's family as well as the maids and servants under one roof. All work that was traditionally part of agriculture in the past is presented on the museum farm. At the same time, the farm is geared towards ecological agriculture . Horticulture and field work are carried out here according to Bioland guidelines. Every year the highlights are the traditional markets on the farm - from the Whitsun market to Apple Day.
