Food storehouse

There is a small building along the wall towards Kong Oscars street that may have been built sometime in the late 18th or early 19th century. It was originally used to store food.

At the end of the 19th century, the building began being used for storage and as a spinning room.

Today, the building is often called the “scout house”. This is because the building was loaned to a scout association in the second half of the 20th century.
