Description:
The restoration of a 16th century stone manor stronghold from 1770 where the buildings have largely remained intact through the ages and the living areas since the beginning of the 19th century. Traditional materials and methods were used to repair more than 100 rooms/areas. The complex of Hovdala Slott has now a tourist/cultural function. Some work on the garden and on the moat still need to be carried out. The interior of building D needs to be done and there is a desire to install a theatre in a large barn (building E).
