It was first mentioned in the 14th century and has been inhabited by various local figures throughout its history. Among them were the mayor of Sundborn as well as several mine owners, which is why the farm is often referred to as the "Miner's Farm."

In 1850, the then owner, Lars Gustaf Rathsman, had the current buildings built and, as an amateur botanist, left his mark on the large garden. The last owner was Bengt Linderdahl, who bequeathed Stora Hyttnäs to the Linderdahlska Stiftelsen Foundation after his death in 1983. The foundation now runs the museum and maintains the property.

In the garden, you will find around 80 different tree species and shrubs, including one of the oldest apple trees in Sweden. Its name is Gubbäppelträdet, which means "Old Man Apple Tree," because the flesh of its apples is so tender and friable that even an old man without teeth could eat the fruit without any problem. The tree itself is estimated to be around 350 years old. Henrika Linderdahl designed the rest of the garden herself as an ornamental garden based on German models.

A Master miner’s estate. This is an intact bourgois home from the late 1800s. The estate dates back to the 1500s. In 1654, Johan Otto, an energetic and successful judge from Falun, married Magdalena Johansdotter the wealthy

daughter from Stora Hyttnäs.

On becoming the owner of the estate himself he developed it into a master miner´s estate. He became a master miner at the Sala Silver Mine in 1660, was knighted in 1666 and took the name Silfwerström. He was instrumental in many ways to the development of the village.

The current main building was built in 1840 and a wing was added in 1823. In the late 1890s, Henrika and Pontus Linderdahl altered the main building to its present appearance. Carl and Karin Larsson were their closest neighbors and very good friends of the family.

The Linderdahl children had no heirs and wanted the estate to remain unaltered for the enjoyment of the residents of Sundborn and people all around. Pontus and Henrika´s last child Bengt Linderdahl bequeathed the estate to Sundborn municipality on his death in 1983.
