Well curated group of buildings and information. A real snapshot into the past. The guide did say rich farmers, so maybe not an every-man type of set-up, but still a good snapshot. Also have a garden and animals representing local varieties for both. The chickens were following us around, which we found hilarious.

A wonderful museum with original farm buildings from 19th century Uppland many of which are open to be explored by visitors. There are also several old breeds of livestock and a garden with plants that were important for everyday life back then. Everything is in great condition and the employees seem very passionate about maintaining the site and sharing their knowledge. We came during a thunderstorm and didn't expect there to be a guided tour, but even though we were just two people, we received a great and very informative tour anyway. A huge thank you to our guide, it really was amazingly informative and felt like the past came alive for a little while. So all in all, Disagården is definitely worth a visit as is all of Gamla Uppsala.

A museum about the Viking ages. Plenty of stuff to see if you're really interested. A fun cosplay area for children and a small shop. I bought some souvenirs from there. Everything is in Swedish and English. Museum has mostly only copies of historical items.

Definitely go there if you visit Uppsala during Summer. There are small houses that are maintained pretty well. There are different furniture and tools in the houses that makes you feel like you are in another century. There is a lot of nature, green and animals. The entrance is free and the staff that works there is incredibly polite and lovely! I would say that this is a smaller version of Skansen in Stockholm, however I loved it even more!

Kakesbeck Castle

Kakesbeck is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Münsterland and the oldest castle in Lüdinghausen. The imposingly grown complex originated in 1120 as a motte, a small hilltop tower castle. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle was extended onto two islands, but it was not until the 14th century that it underwent significant alterations and extensions under the von Oer family. The estate experienced its heyday in the middle of the 18th century, when it covered an area of almost one square kilometre and consisted of five further outer castles in addition to the core castle, which were secured by ramparts and moats.

The well-maintained condition of the castle today is thanks to the late Wilfried Grewing, the former lord of the castle. The foundation named after him has been particularly committed to preserving the property since 2020.
