You will find the open-air museum Hägnan on the outside of the world heritage area, at the outskirts of Gammelstad Church town. You can learn more about customs and practices from the past and about life in the Norrbothnian countryside from the end of the 18th century to the 1940s here. 

The open-air museum Hägnan is closed for the season, but do not worry! The outdoor area is always open for visitors. There is a barbeque spot which is free to use and if the weather conditions are good you might even see norhtern lights on clear, cold winter nights.

What happens at the open-air museum during low season?

The farm houses may be closed for the season, but there are still loads of activity at Hägnan all year around. School programs and group tours can be booked throughout the year and the staff is preparing for activities during school breaks and the large Christmas market in December.
