Märta Ljungberg

[1] She was daughter to frälseinspektor and innkeeper Lars Svensson Frimolin and his wife Margareta Larsdotter.

[2] After her parents' death the ownership of inn was taken over by her brother Abraham Ljungberg (later Ljungfelt) with the everyday operation handed over to Märta herself.

Four years later, 1685, Lars was transferred to Stockholm around the same time as the birth of their first child, the son Samuel.

[1] After her brother's death in 1724, she was required to pay a retroactively annual lease of the inn to her nephews.

[1][2] During her life she managed to acquire an estate of twelve farms; including Eskilsgården, Södergården, and Klockaregården that today is located in and around Ljungby's Old Marketplace.

[1] Before her death, she decided that the proceeds of her estate should go to scholarships for students of Smålands Nation in Lund and the poor in Ljungby, Kånna och Angelstad's parishes.

In 1981 a memorial stone was erected near her inn.
