Sommarhagen
The lakeside summer home of Swedish composer Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, preserved as it was, open to visitors in summer with concerts.
Sommarhagen was the summer home of composer Wilhelm Peterson-Berger (1867–1942) on Frösö Island. He loved the scenery of Jämtland, and many of his works were completed here. Built in 1914, the wooden house has decorations in the Norwegian style, its interiors are kept as they were, and the garden overlooks Lake Storsjön. Guided tours and garden concerts are held in summer, and it pairs well with a visit to nearby Frösö Church.
