A Journey 100 Years Back in Time
The Forest Worker’s House is furnished as it was in the 1930s, when the forest worker Niels Brøsted lived here with his wife and their three children.
The house consists of a utility room, a kitchen, and a formal living room on the ground floor, as well as two rooms on the first floor.
Outside the house you will find the wood shed and the outdoor toilet, along with an ornamental garden and a kitchen garden. The house had no electricity or running water, but it was supplied with water from its own pump.
If you would like to experience the life of a forest worker yourself, you can book a weekend stay in the house.
The Forester’s Cottage
The entrance in the south gable leads into the utility room. Here you will find the copper boiler and the rough kitchen area where the family left their boots before entering the house’s kitchen. Through a small hallway you enter the living room. On the first floor there is a bedroom for the adults and a shared children’s room.
Outside the house you will find the wood shed, while the family’s outdoor toilet has been reconstructed behind the house, where the kitchen garden and the house’s water pump are also located. At the front of the house there is an ornamental garden that can be seen from the road.
