The Farmhouses of Hälsingland, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are a collection of seven well-preserved timber farmhouses from the 19th century, showcasing a unique blend of rural architecture and folk art. Built by prosperous farmers, these homes feature elaborately decorated interiors with vibrant paintings and stencils, reflecting influences from Baroque and Rococo styles. Designated in 2012, they represent the peak of a centuries-old timber-building tradition and the social status of their owners. Many are still privately owned, with some open to visitors for guided tours.
