Rusthållargården in Onslunda Welcome to the church village of Onslunda and this four-winged Rusthållargård (cavalry estate) with 300 years of history. A well-preserved farmstead with charm and character that appeals. There is a school in the village. Description Contact the responsible agent for a viewing. For hundreds of years, through life's ups and downs, this Rusthållargård has stood steady in the ownership of various families. The four-winged farm has an old farmhouse garden as well as an inner courtyard where the wings protect from wind and weather. A beautifully preserved and restored property in the church village of Onslunda — here you feel the sweep of history. A place for anyone interested in building conservation, in a location with history and identity. A Rusthållargård with roots in the 18th century (perhaps the late 17th century) and with cultural-historical value.Much has been preserved, and the old rusthållar chamber in the barn building has clay-plastered walls. The outbuildings offer stables, barns and a garage. There is plenty of space here for your own business, storage, studios or hobbies. The dwelling house, with its limestone-rendered façade, has a surprising spaciousness and generous light. The beautiful windows, many from the first half of the 19th century, have partly mouth-blown glass and are painted with linseed oil paint. There is a warming soapstone stove in one of the living rooms and a beautiful cast-iron stove in the kitchen (both need to be approved for firing). A bespoke kitchen interior in rural style with a fine connection to the inner courtyard. The house offers four bedrooms, three of which are on the upper floor. On summer nights you can keep the bedroom window open and listen to the nightingale's symphony as it sings at its most beautiful.On this farm you can realise your dreams. Perhaps you have longed for a market garden with greenhouses, perhaps an orchard, or why not a raspberry field for pick-your-own. There is also room for a bed & breakfast, or perhaps a café with a farm bakery. Exciting possibilities give rise to many ideas — bear in mind that permits may be required for changes and business activities. The current owners have used the farm as a summer residence for almost 30 years, to escape the pulse of the big city. Interior Present day and history: There are large windows facing south, letting the sun's rays warm the house when spring arrives. The windows facing the church and north are probably from the 1861 renovation. They are made of heartwood and have fittings that can be dated to the first half of the 19th century. They have inner windows and have good insulation value comparable to modern windows.From the kitchen window you can see the old village road, the church and the church tower. The kitchen has a French tiled floor, and on summer evenings the sun lights up the kitchen from the hall window in the west. The kitchen originally had an open hearth and a baking oven. The kitchen also had a large baking trough, an oblong wooden table and a large water vessel. There was also a chopping block for making small matches.In the hall leading to the toilet is the original staircase up to the loft. The loft was originally used to store grain such as seed. It was practical to store grain in the loft because it was dry there, as the house was heated continuously.The great room (storstugan) is the heart of the house, and here all members of the farm slept together. The maid, however, slept in the kitchen since she was responsible for keeping the fire alive. In those days one did not want to go and borrow fire from the neighbouring farm. There was probably a set stove between the kitchen and the great room. The great room originally had built-in benches and beds. The floor of the great room is insulated with leca pellets and has a pine floor from Dalarna. The door between the chest room and the great room is original and has a working cabinet lock with a key from the 19th century. The high door threshold is also original.The chest room was used only on holidays, for household examinations and festivities. It stood unheated, and here the farmer's wife kept her dowry — linen and clothes — in large oak chests with locks. The chest room has a door out to the garden in case a fire broke out and one quickly wanted to get out the most valuable possessions on the farm. The chest room has its original floor preserved. It consists of wide floorboards from the 18th century. The wide baseboard is also original. The walls of the chest room were plastered with clay in 2010 and painted with a non-toxic paint from Auro. The chest room has windows in three directions of the compass, giving the room light and character.Next to the great room there is a bedroom with two original windows with inner windows. The bedroom was previously considerably smaller and had a different use, as the original chimney (illaren) was considerably larger.
