    The area forms a rich cultural environment in terms of opportunities to read building and landscape changes from a long-term perspective. Particularly noteworthy are the Bronze Age and the oldest Iron Age, as well as the effects of the shift to the right.

    The area of Ryd-Horda contains one of the five burial places of the municipality and in addition about 15 places with occasional ancient remains, mainly stone piles. The grave field contains round rock formations, hills and cairns and probably dates from the Iron Age, while the lonely cairns represent the Bronze Age.

    One of them, Rannerör, has a diameter of 45 meters and a height of 2.5 meters. Several other cairns have a diameter of 20-30 meters, for example Sköllerör at the summit of Hordabackarna and Storjerör in Ryd. The cairns are characteristically scattered around the area, often combined with the occasional hills and rock formations, connecting vast areas of fossil farmland.

    In Horda in particular, the structure of the property is very clear in the open landscape.

    The building stock in the area consists mainly of semi-detached manor houses from the period 1850-1900. Several farms still have old names such as Rättaregården, Fällagården and Karlsgården.
