The Zorn House is one of the most well-known artist homes in Sweden. Built and decorated around the turn of last century by Anders and Emma Zorn, it remains today almost untouched since their time.
Already in 1886, Zorn had acquired a vacant lot near Mora church and moved a small wooden house to the property, which became the nucleus for the couple’s Mora home. Designed by the artist himself, the structure combined local timberwork traditions with the architecture of English houses and Zorn’s conception of Viking-era dwellings – simultaneously rustic and refined, grand and cozy. Artistic craftwork from Dalarna mixed boldly with items of great value acquired from abroad: woven tapestries, silver pieces, antique sculptures, and paintings by old masters. Behind the rather discreet facade was a home equipped with every conceivable luxury: refrigeration, stainless-steel kitchen counters, central heating, hot and cold running water, even a vacuum cleaner.
Additions were constantly made to the house, but by about 1910 it was finished to the state we know it today, surrounded by a garden with berry bushes and fruit trees and adorned with a fountain sculpture in bronze made by Zorn himself. In the garden is the artist’s studio, housed in a medieval house with visible timber walls and wooden ceilings that dates to 1290.
The Zorn House is only shown in groups led by a guide. We recommend that you book your place in advance by sending an email to info@zorn.se.

Carl Larsson-gården – One of the world’s best known and most depicted artist’s homes
Welcome to the house of Carl Larsson and his spouse!
That is a translation of what is written above the entrance to Carl and Karin Larsson’s beloved Lilla Hyttnäs in Sundborn, just outside Falun.
Karin’s father, Adolf Bergöö, gave Lilla Hyttnäs to Carl and Karin in 1888. The couple transformed the tiny timbered cottage, which was built in 1837, into one of the world’s best-known artist’s residences. Lilla Hyttnäs has remained in the Larsson family for generations and is now managed by the Carl och Karin Larsson Family association.
To experience the contrasts we suggest that you also pay a visit to Stora Hyttnäs on the other side of the river, a splendid 19th century residence, typical of the period, that gives the bold and charming interior design at Lilla Hyttnäs an added dimension.
So do not miss a stimulating visit to an artist’s home that still is both alive and personal.
