A town house from the 1700s where the small spy-holes in the doors show us how the maid once stood and watched upon her household.

Here you will experience a 19th century bourgeois milieu where original wall paintings from the 1700s are preserved.

The belonging garden with sheds, pavilion and the old plants and fruit varieties is the only Grade 1 listed garden in Mjölby Municipality.
