The Hälsingland Farmhouses were inscribed on UNESCO´s World Heritage List under the name "Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland" 2012.
The nomination focuses on what is truly unique about the farmhouses. Not only did the people of Hälsingland build more and larger festivities rooms than farmers did in the rest of the world. There are also more decorated domestic interiors preserved in Hälsingland than anywhere else in the World.
"A World Heritage site is an environment considered globally unique and therefore important to all of humanity."
Erik-Anders, part of the Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland Word Heritage in the village of Asta in Söderala parish, has a mansion-like architecture with interiors inspired by the higher social classes. The rooms in the house are laid out in a double row, and there is an impressively wide grand festivities room on the first floor.The farmhouse´s restained decorations are the work of the Knutes, a family of painters much in demand.
Erik-Anders was named after Erik Andersson, who had the farm built in the 1820s. The farm is now privately owned.
Here is a Visitor Center, café, shop, and a garden that has been restored to how it looked in 1920.
