Gästgivaregården

At Ljungby gård, Märta Ljungberg ran a guesthouse. At Ljungby gamla torg (Ljungby Old Square), you’ll find the current Gästgivaregården (Innkeeper’s House), which dates back to around 1820 and occupies the same location where Märta Ljungberg operated her guesthouse business. In addition to the guesthouse, a courthouse and a prison were established on the site. The square also featured a pillory. Märta’s memory lives on in several places in Ljungby, including Märta Ljungbergsvägen (Märta Ljungberg Road) along Ljungby gamla torg.

Today, Gästgivaregården is a cozy restaurant that still serves traditional Småland cuisine, adapted for modern taste buds. In the old courthouse, there is a museum, and the other buildings around the square house the Sagomuseét (Fairy Tale Museum), craft shops, and a café. During the summer months, there are plenty of events and flea markets that make Ljungby gamla torg a delightful place to visit.
