The home is renowned for its creative style and innovative interior design. Even during Carl and Karin\u2019s lifetime, people made pilgrimages to Lilla Hyttn\u00e4s. They wanted to experience the setting that attracted such attention. To this day, the family still celebrates holidays at the house.

The Lilla Hyttn\u00e4s property came into Karin\u2019s family as early as 1875, when Karin\u2019s father Adolf Berg\u00f6\u00f6 bought it for his widowed mother and for his sisters, Ulla and Maria. When Ulla died in 1888, Maria moved out, and Lilla Hyttn\u00e4s was transferred to Karin and Carl on the condition that they deposit a sum corresponding to the property\u2019s value into the children\u2019s savings accounts. It was not only the little cottage that the artist couple fell for, but also the wonderfully beautiful location close to nature and water. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The house was extended in stages and came to encompass several different styles, from Old Norse to influences from England and Japan. The exterior reflects the phases of expansion and is a mix of log construction and half-timbering. The new studio, with a light beige roughcast fa\u00e7ade and a sheet-metal roof, was built at an angle to the old house and inaugurated in 1899. It is one of Scandinavia\u2019s largest studios, purpose-built for large wall paintings. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In his will, Carl states that Lilla Hyttn\u00e4s is to be preserved as a place for art and culture after his death. He has a strong connection to his family and his home, and he wants Lilla Hyttn\u00e4s to remain a living place that reflects his artistic legacy.  

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Carl wishes for the home to be managed by his family and to be open to the public. In this way, both his art and the atmosphere he and Karin created will be preserved for future generations. After Carl Larsson\u2019s death in 1919 and Karin\u2019s death in 1928, the family continued to care for the house. In the 1940s, Lilla Hyttn\u00e4s was opened to the public, and the property is still run by the Carl and Karin Larsson Family Association. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
