| If you are interested in historic buildings: |
| Do you have an interest either professionally or otherwise in old buildings? Come on my tour and you will have the experience of your life amidst the music and culture of Summer Sweden. We will visit, explore, and sometimes stay in houses, castles, mills, and churches that cover an age span from 100 to 1000 years. You will get a chance to inspect at close hand building layouts and construction details. Climb the stairs in a 500-year old church steeple; see how modifications were done in a stone castle; see how the ancient art of roof thatching is still used in modern times. Whether you are architect or historian, engineer or carpenter, designer or hobbyist, you will find a wealth of discoveries as you travel over 1000 miles. You will see dozens of variants on the classic spiral staircase. You may see a sod shanty of the charcoal-makers. You will see how a royal palace was converted to a storage barn, a prison, and a museum. You can see the way a 17th-century warship was built. You will be able to study the vaulted ceilings of 12th-century churches. You will see how a rough-hewn log cottage 300 years old has been kept up to be a modern home for current use. Hear the music, enjoy the scenery, soak up the folk culture, experience new foods, meet wonderful people.... Please join us! -Tim Rued |
