The baroque garden in Gamla Staberg is very well preserved and shows us what a typical Carolinian miner's garden could have looked like in the 18th century. Swedish Carolinian baroque has a simpler and more austere formal language than its models on the continent and was also characterized by greater functionality. The Swedish gardens at that time were modeled on French gardens, with Versailles as the ultimate ideal. According to this, the garden and building should be connected as a unit. The complex had a long perspective with a marked main axis and straight lines that should dominate the surrounding landscape. The miner's house served as the center of the complex.
Olof Simonsson Naucler, who took over the farm at the end of the 17th century, gave Gamla Staberg a Carolinian character. The baroque garden, which was laid out south of the building, consisted of an orchard with around 60 fruit trees, a vegetable garden and two crucian carp. In a drawing from 1758, the garden is precisely divided into various rectangular blocks.
In the summer of 1997, a two-year restoration project was started. The aim was to recreate the appearance of the 18th century baroque garden. In order to recreate the original Carolinian garden as accurately as possible, the drawing from 1758 was used as a basis. Efforts were made to preserve old apple varieties and old local varieties were also grafted. The fruit trees were planted in collaboration with the Nordic Gene Bank (Nordiska genbanken). A clone archive for old fruit varieties is being created here in Staberg.
