No matter how annoying the rain was, it made the roses ten times more beautiful.

So true, so true.

Linné dedicated his life to categorizing plants. The classifications he did are still used. These are copes of Linné's wall papers; his own pictures. Pretty nice, huh.

At Fredriksdal, you can see what houses and homes looked like centuries ago. Even though the buildings are partly restored, they are all real homes from the time they represent.

This manor from 1787 was donated to the town of Helsingborg in 1916 and the reason Fredriksdal became a park. The house is beautiful; I would move in any day.

This house is a little older and the people who lived here were hard working farmers. Due to a fire, the outside of the house is partly blackened.

Beds... It's probably a good thing I didn't live back when you slept like this. I get clausterfobic just looking at them.

House number three is very old; parts of it dates back from the 17th century. The owners were wealthy farmers.

Very picturesque.

A rich farm had its own loom. This one is from . . .

This is probably what a typical block of a town would have looked like a century, or a couple of centuries back. However, since Sweden hasn't been in war for hundreds of years, many old parts of towns are well kept. These kinds of houses are still common today, although we seldom build like this anymore.

Old-style houses meets modern construction.
