Welcome home to Astrid’s
Visiting Astrid Lindgren’s childhood home is like stepping back in time.
Everything remains just as it was when Astrid was a child. The pump organ she didn’t want to practice on, the beautiful cushion she embroidered, the bed she was born in. All the other furniture, paintings, and kitchen utensils are still there. It almost feels as if Astrid and her three siblings might come running in at any moment to play “Sicken blås”!
A guided tour of the childhood home becomes a vivid story about Astrid Lindgren’s family and life on a farm at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, the house is a private residence owned by the family, and can only be visited through our guided tours.
