We saw a building in the distance and walked to it. Aron Johansson was the architect. It was built between 1902 and 1915 in the National Romantic style. First used as a hospital, now used as care home for seniors.

"The National Romantic style was a Nordic architectural style that was part of the national romantic movement during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Designers turned to early Medieval and even prehistoric precedents to construct a style appropriate to the perceived character of a people. The style can be seen as a reaction to industrialism and an expression of the same "dream of the North" nationalism". (Wikipedia)
