Åsle Tå

Åsle Tå is the most well preserved settlement of "backstugor" in Sweden, that lays at its original location. "Backstugor" were small country houses or more likely hats, built on someone else's land. Their inhabitants' main occupation was not to work at the fields. The oldest house is from 1700s.
About 85 people lived in Åsle Tå, during the 1880s while in the 1900s were only ten left. Nowadays, there are ten houses in Åsle Tå, a living proof of an era long gone. Walking through the settlement's narrow street, you can here the sound of Maje's broom sweeping the wooden floor and the blacksmith hammering hard on an old plough.
Maje's house is about 6 square metres. For some years, along with Maje lived in this house one more woman, Anna Kristina.

Every single house is furnished and preserved in a way that makes you look over your shoulder, feeling that its tenant stands at the tiny door watching you...
The houses are open for the visitors between 1st of May and 31st of August.
