Fredriksdal Museums and Gardens
Fredriksdal museer och trädgårdar
An open-air museum set in an 18th-century estate, with an old town street, farmhouses, a botanical garden, and animals. A good half-day outing for families.
Fredriksdal was originally a country estate built in 1787. Today it is an open-air museum covering about 36 hectares. Traditional Scanian farmhouses, a windmill, and old town streets have been moved here, where traditional crafts such as printing and woodworking are demonstrated. The site also includes a farm raising heritage livestock breeds, a botanical garden, and a French-style garden. On summer weekends there are craft demonstrations, markets, and open-air theatre performances, and during Christmas a traditional Christmas market is held. The grounds are spacious and good for family strolls. Admission varies by season, at around 100 to 150 Swedish kronor, and some times in winter are free. It is about 2 kilometres from the city centre and can be reached by bus or in a 25-minute walk.
