A cold day in december we went on a guided tour through the historical quarters of Klippan, once the port for Ostindiska kompaniet and later the site for the Carnegie brewery. |
|
In the 18th century this was a warehouse used by Ostindiska Kompaniet. Now there is a first-rate restaurant here, Sjömagasinet. |
|
Klippan 4 built in 1762. The house is sometimes known as the bakery. However, there is no (and has never been) oven inside. |
|
The living quarters for the employees of the brewery. Built by a swedish architect (the same who built Centralstationen) in british style. The rent was 8 kronor/month. |
|
The blacksmith's workshop built 1770. Here the anchors were forged. Today the house is used by the chief Leif Mannerström. |
|
The chapel of St Bridget. The stupid swedes thought that Carnegie named it to honour the swedish saint Birgitta. |
|
Once a farmhouse, now a hotel for dogs! |
|
A barrel for porter, used as a room for banquets. 1820 the swedish king had his breakfast here. The host, Mr Lorent, was rewarded with a VIP passport. |
|
In remembrance of the brewery. Maybe these silos can be transformed into student's apartments. Each flat will have a diameter of 2 meters! |
|
Renée, Valter and Andreas waiting (and looking) for the food. |
|
The farewell gift that Björn gave to Karin will probably remind her more of herself than of us. It was a mirror. |
|
Some of us never stopped eating. Mikhail is impressed by the appetite of the young people. |
|
Yaroslav (to the far left) learned the swedish "Julbord" tradition. |
|
The herring table was 5 meters long. |
|
Göran and Björn were both awarded with gold medals. These particular medals were made of E201, E205 and cacao. |
|
Yes Mikael, everyone saw that you took at least 5 refillings. And by the way, are you really allowed to eat meatballs before Christmas eve? |
