Barrel of land

Because the barrel sizes varied by country, the area unit does too.

In Denmark, the tønde was used as an official area unit until the introduction of the metric system in 1907.

Nowadays, a mål corresponds to 1,000 square meters in everyday speech.

One tunnland was divided into 56 kannland, 32 kappland, 6 skäppland, or 2 lopsland.

[5] In Finland, the Swedish units that were officially defined in the 1630s were used, but with Finnish names: one tynnyrinala (tunnland) corresponding to 32 kapanala (kappland) or 2 panninala (lopsland).
