Bonnstan

Bonnstan ("The Farmers Town") in Skellefteå, northern Sweden.

 

In a time when going to church was mandatory, churchgoers with a long way to travel could own a room and sleep for the night here, next to the church. Bonnstan was built during the 1600s, but the buildings standing there today were built in the 1830s, after a devastating fire.

 

Here I have built a few houses as a tiny little coulisse. I have used plates and tiles to get structure in the wooden walls, and jumper plates, tiles and masonry bricks to get structure in the wooden doors.
