Farmsteads, a Ruin and Local Stories

Dängevik was once made up of four farmsteads. This number describes the former settlement structure. Dängevik is also home to the ruin of the soldier’s cottage Färmstorpet. In the Bottnen and Dängevik area, there are remains from an earlier farming period. These points of interest relate to different scales: the number of farmsteads describes the settlement as a whole, the farming remains relate to the area, and the ruin is a single named building. This allows you to consider settlement history, land use and a specific architectural landmark separately.

Historically, Dängevik was also an early location for itinerant trade. A local folk tale tells of trolls in Dängevik by Frisjön. Dängevik is also associated with old deciduous trees. These details represent different themes: itinerant trade refers to an earlier economic role, the tale belongs to folklore, and old deciduous trees add a connection to the landscape. The different points of reference answer different questions: the four farmsteads show the former settlement pattern, while the farming remains relate to how the area was used. Färmstorpet draws attention to a single architectural remnant, while itinerant trade describes an economic role. The troll tale belongs to folklore, and old deciduous trees offer a connection to the landscape. This lets you consider settlement, land use, a building, trade, storytelling and nature as different facets of Dängevik.
