About the tour

Thanks to the fact that Hjo has been spared by major fires, as well as the fire of 1794 when the church and several buildings around it burned down, our city is unique in Sweden because of the amount of well-preserved wooden houses. The settlement was until the second half of the 19th century mostly around the square. It was here that Hjo’s most distinguished neighborhood was then located, with a town hall, workshops, commercial and craft farms.

The houses were also often built on two floors. Inside the courtyards there were outbuildings, barns and stables, and barn doors through the houses made it possible to transport things from the street into the courtyards. The further away you came from the square, the lower and easier the houses became, and at the far end lived workers and fishermen.

Curious to know more? During our city walks, our guides will tell you about the wooden town of Hjo and our history.
