Fjällhyddan

[1][2] Most likely Fjällhyddan's date of construction was somewhere around 1888, a year after Villa Elfkullen and about a decade before Tureborg Castle, its two companion structures.

[2] Malmgren, the wealthy founder of the regional Bohusläningen newspaper, as well as a radical politician and general philanthropist, was greatly inspired both by the national romanticism of the era and the long travels of his youth.

Journeying through the Rhine Valley, he was captured by the region's grand medieval castles, and decided to build one of his own.

Constructed in what was then a sunny glade on the slope of the mountain Fjällsätern towards Garvaremyren, Fjällhyddan was a small two-story house located by the foot of a steep cliff and surrounded by lilac bushes.

The area could be entered through heavy iron gates in a nearby thick stone wall.
