Erik-Anders

Erik-Anders is a Swedish farm located in Söderala, in the municipality of Söderhamn and the province of Hälsingland.[1] The farm owes its name to the peasant Erik Andersson (1788-1874), who rebuilt the main residence between 1813 and 1827.The family subsequently suffered setbacks that threatened the maintenance of the farm: of the two sons of Erik Andersson, the elder emigrates to the United States while the cadet remains invalid after a horse accident.[2] With its elegant roof and large yellow painted facade, the main building had the appearance of a manor house.The interior decoration of the reception room, made by a group of Rättvik painters known as "Knutesmålarna", is also typical of the 19th century manor houses, with very clear colors.
