We’ve also thoroughly enjoyed having lots of children in the house. The many bedrooms also bedrooms space for guests, young and old. The Linnaeushof is a rare place: a village within the big city.

And above all, the house itself. It’s a wonderful place to live, where we’ve been very happy for 27 years!
