ASTRID LINDGREN´S NÄS OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND
Astrid Anna Emilia Ericsson was born here, at the farm at Näs in Vimmerby more than 100 years ago. Her father was tenant farmer at the rectory.
This is where Astrid climbed in the "lemonade tree", played with her siblings, jumped in the hay and listened to stories in Kristin´s kitchen.
Her childhood home is still intact. The house is open for guided tours all year round. What a fantastic experience to enter into Astrid Lindgren´s unique childhood home. For more information please contact the reception + 46-492-76 94 00.
