Torpet is the Swedish name for a leased farm where the rent was paid by performing work for the owner. Here is the text from the sign:
There was a farmstead here in the 19th century, Klätte-torpet. Nothing remains of the farm itself, but apple trees and lilac bushes reveal that a house once stood here.
The farm consisted of a residential building and two smaller houses. The farmstead also had its own field. The map from the end of the 19th century shows that the field was located east of the farmstead, in the semi-open area that is now grazed.
That the land was used as arable land is also evident from the flat and stone-free terrain.
The farmstead belonged to the Berg farm, which was owned by the Crown. The smallholder leased the smallholding
from the state. 19th century house dwellers often led a tiring life. In addition to cultivating his own land, the small farmer was required to perform forced labor on the main farm in payment for the rent.
