Framnäs is an old summer residens that belonged to a baroness. She wanted to donate the place to a church, and the Methodist church of Sweden was the only of two candidates, that agreed with the terms: the place was to be used for the recreation of retired ministers. And the poor people of the area was to be fed - at the usual dinner times :-) Hence the bizare times of meals: light breakfast at 8.30 am, then actual break fast at 10.00 am, coffee with three types of cakes at 2pm, dinner at 5 pm, and tea with bread and jam at 8 pm.

Several new houses have been build around the site to facilitate meal times and people sleeping. This is the view from the kithcen and dinner house:

The baroness' house is still on the grounds, decorated as she left them. The baroness' maiden name was Nobel, and several famous peoples have stayed in the house such as Rudyard Kipling.

We stayed in a little house with three rooms. Duncan, Samuel and I had the room down stairs. The Gaarde family stayed upstairs. All rooms had their own bathrooms.
