Christmas in the small soldiers hut

Full of CHRISTMAS COZINESS

In the middle of Småland in Sweden is a so-called "soldier’s croft" dated back to the 1700s. This croft is called "Engaholm". A croft was a small house on a plot of land which was awarded to loyal soldiers. By giving the soldier a croft and enabling him to make a living through farming, the king made sure that the soldier was always fit for fight. This soldier lived in the croft "Engaholm" along with his wife and no less than seven children! Today, the house functions as a summer home for three generations of the Frederiksen family.
