Hallandsgården

Hallandsgården is an open-air museum founded in 1925, beautifully situated on Galgberget in the middle of Halmstad. This is a natural destination for anyone who wants to visit bygone days. There are old buildings here acquired from various locations around Halland. Visit Eldsberga School House, Hörsåsstugan or the stables, and experience life as it was at first hand, on your own or with one of our expert guides. A variety of cultural plants like Portland roses, herbs and hops can be seen growing near the buildings. The area is open year-round for visitors. The buildings and the cafe are open during the summer months when guided tours are provided for both children and adults.
