Yard, bakehouse, street house Kvighagen-Hagatorp ca. 1852-1949. Last user: Malte Svensson The courtyard is not always easy to distinguish from the bakehouse and the street house. Fields, meadows and outbuildings belonged to the farm, which the bakehouse, for example, lacked. Many courtyards had their origins in a bakehouse, which then took on a more permanent character as a courtyard. Farm stewards usually had an agreed daily allowance to the landowner, while the bakehouse steward had no such obligation. Farm managers and hut dwellers usually made a living from handicrafts and wage labor in the nearby village or on the estate. Among the Scanian street houses, the design differed greatly both within Scania and in the rest of Sweden. Some did not own any land at all, while others had a piece of land next to the house. Day labor was banned by law in 1943. In the 1750s, around 48,000 households in Sweden were the unsettled, i.e. small farmers, cottagers and others. A hundred years later, the number had quadrupled to 203,000 households. The sign was put up by the home club Riseberga - Färingtonofta. (information from sign)
