Zorn Open-air Museum I
In 1914 Swedish artist Anders Zorn (1860-1920), began building an open-air museum: "Zorns Gammelgård". The museum consists of around 40 wooden buildings from the 1200s to the 1700s, most of them retrieved from the villages around Mora. Almost all of them also have horizontal logs that are interlocked at the corners by notching.
The small building in the middle is a fire house. Some of the trees for the building were cut down in the beginning of the year 1237 (determined by dendrochronology - the scientific method of dating based on the analysis of patterns of tree-rings). This makes it Sweden's oldest profane wooden building.
