Melstedgård

[2] [3] The farm can be traced back to the 17th century, when the fields were tilled by a farmer who lived nearby.

The first farmhouse, built at the end of the 17th century, was demolished around 1796, allowing today's half-timbered building to be completed in 1801 on the same site.

Sevendsen and his son Julius also made improvements inside the house, adding a kitchen and modernizing the rooms.

[5] The pantry has a large oven while the adjoining kitchen has an iron stove with hotplates, bought in the 1870s to replace an open fire.

The room was designed for relaxation with a rocking chair, sofa and armchairs where guests could be received or books could be read aloud.

The one on the left served as a repair shop and also had an unheated room for the farm hands as well as a stable and a box for a foal.

The southern outhouse houses old farm machinery as well as three old tractors, one of them a 1948 John Deere sent from the United States under the post-war Marshall Plan.

In the entrance there are some of the museum's carriages including a late 19th-century Landau, a charabanc and a pony trap from 1920.

It now stands in a field on the other side of the main road from Gudhjem to Svaneke where it is used for grinding feed for the farm animals.
