Alby friluftsgård

Alby farm served as a vicarage for almost 300 years. In 1635, the lord of the manor of Tyresö, Gabriel Oxenstierna, granted Alby as a vicarage in the newly formed parish. The land that belonged was a wage benefit, but the priest was rarely seen in the field but kept with maids and servants who took care of the agriculture and animals. Nothing is written about the appearance of the main building in the 17th century. The current main building dates from 1807, with a room layout that dates from the 18th century. There were clear rules for which rooms and other houses the priest was entitled to and the parishioners had to build. From the turn of the century 1900, farming was leased out. The last tenant moved out in 1967. All the buildings that remain today belonged to the farm: stables, barn, brewhouse, granary and tenant's residence.
