STORY
This was the home of Mr. Rudolf and his family, living as cattle farmers in the serene countryside of Sweden, far from the bustle of big cities. They lived a simple and peaceful life in the vast farmlands of the country. Life here was relatively uneventful, with each day blending into the next without any major occurrences or noteworthy moments. Rudolf tirelessly tended to the farm and its animals, while his wife Eva managed the household and took care of their children. In the same way their ancestors had done for centuries!
Everything changed on a rainy autumn day. The local dam, already filled to its maximum capacity, suddenly burst and flooded the villages downstream. Unfortunately, their farm was in the most affected area and large portions of itnwere swept away by the floodwaters. Tragically, many of their livestock drowned as well.
The disaster was a blow to the family, but with support from their community and unwavering determination, they were able to rise above it and emerge as an even more resilient and unified family.
For years to come, they continued to live here in harmony as a family, just as they had before the tragedy, but with an added sense of caution. The farm has been uninhabited since the 1990s. Rudolf and his wife have now passed away, and their children no longer wish to continue living this lifestyle on the farm. With great joy we will tell you the tail of this wonderful Swedish family and immortalize their story.

The little bird box on table held toothpicks. You put toothpicks in the opening and push the little bird and it would pick one up in its mouth for you. Very nice video once again Lesley and Danny. Your videos amaze me as being in the USA - a chair in a place can be older than our country as we have a very short history! Great job with the video coverage and details.
400 years is a pretty old chair concerning America's youth.
No it’s for cigaretts. My grandparents had one like that 😊
Agreed, it's for cigarettes. @@lindam8259
With a beak so big it would pick up at least 38 toothpicks... 😜It was for cigarettes, of course.
@@kalle6522 maybe this one is for cigarettes - my Italian family always had one similar to this on their dining table and it was for toothpicks.
Hello from Sweden!😍🇸🇪 Thx for great videos! Just love them! The psalm book you find, is an song book they use in church, not Jewish book. And the electric candles in window we use in Christmas time, not Jewish either. Thx again for lovely videos! ❤
Thank you. I'm American Sweedish.. My great grandparents came from Stockholm.
I was coming to the comment section to say the same thing. Every Swedish home he see's with the candles like that he calls Jewish lol. My mother was a Swede, and we celebrated Christmas with some Swedish traditions.
And there was a picture of Mary with baby Jesus downstairs! And a holder for holy water in the porch by the door to bless themselves with before leaving the house.
This home reminds me of my Norwegian-American grandfather's home so much. When you opened that passport... He was born in 1927 and is still with us. He decided to leave the farm a few years back after Grandma passed, and watching you gents go thru this home takes me back to some really hard days cleaning out the farm for new owners. But we are blessed because we still have him. In fact... I better pause this now and call him.

Muy bonito comentario 😍
Strange no bedrooms or bathroom
The two boxes with the birds are both cigarette dispensers , the birds pick up the cigarette with their beaks .
👍🏻
At 7:30... Husqvarna, or Huskvarna as it started, has started round 1690 as a company in Sweden that made muskets. Later they produced cookovens, motorcycles, sawing machines and so on. They have become a world wide company.
yeah its been stated in a few videos, (even by me) altho they fail to read comments.. the ignorance is a bliss :s
My first moped in Sweden when i was 15 years old was Monark with Husqvarna engine. 🙂
They make good chainsaws as well 😊
Yes, but very heavy. My dad bought me one back in the -60sh and said son, time to go to work and cut some firewood LOL. This was back in Finland but ok, now it's just memories LOL.@@amybannister4021
Thank-You guys for ALWAYS showing respect to a persons property, or to what was once theirs anyway.
I did not watch the whole thing, i wonder if they had permission to go there?
If not it is considerd a crime and is punishable by fines.
@@Nyllsor Get a life, Sappy.
@@thepoetthatwasi1722 Oh, how original
The strange thing is that the bag that is inside the cabinet is an XXL bag. A Norweigan store that didn't exist in Sweden until 2010. Either they left the house way later than we think or some other explorer has been there and put the bag inside.
The comment you made of the "candel holders", they are chrismas lightnings inspired by the hanukkah, but in sweden they have no religious purpose, only the joyful delight of light in the dark time during chrismas (desember).
Its not inspired by that. Its just lightholder. Nothing more bothing less. Not a minora. And it has absolutly nothing to do with judaism.
This little house was so cute even if had an avocado green kitchen. The time capsule of the items left behind is what I really enjoy. Another wonderful life lived to the fullest.
Avocado green screams 1970s to me. It always ages out to puke green haha.
@@crowznest438......
Yes1970s for the green color.
The "abandoned house" @ 25:00 is the house of the swedish painter Carl Larsson. It is at present day a museeum located in the region of Sundborn outside the town of Falun, where they make that red swedish paint you always talk about. The copper mine in Falun is a tourist attraction and both places are well worth a visit.
🙂👍🙏..As a Swed living in France its nice to see a video from Sweden. " The photo" is the current royalties in Sweden . King Karl XVI Gustaf (Bernadotte) and Queen Silvia.
Carl XVI Gustaf, not VI.
@@BlumentiereGlömde Xet,illa då jag har bra koll på våra Kungar och deras nummer, jag får gå in och redigera.. 🙂 🙏
❤ I loved this one!! The bird on the table was a cigarette dispenser. Very common in this era!😊
many old houses had two living rooms that could be heated, but usually the one intended for winter use was smaller. in the larger living room which was also called the ballroom, family parties were held because it was often a bigger space, many people could fit there. Even in Finland, there were rooms in many farmhouses that were only used in the summer because they tried to avoid heating unnecessary spaces, usually the spaces where you stayed were heated, e.g. the kitchen and bedroom. because the kitchen was often also the living room, some large farmhouses had a living room so big that guests could also sleep there and easily organize a party for around 100 people.
Hi from Sweden!
The Wood thing , that you thought that you put balls in 😂
It is to roll cigarettes :)
It is very common for Swedish houses to have a fireplace in the middle so the heat from the fireplace to the chimney spreads in every room and every floor :)
The red colour on many of our houses is called “faluröd”.
The thing with bird is for cigaretts, my grandpa had one also :)
Also, there is a LIDL bag in that corner in the kitchen, lidl opened first 2003 in sweden, so someone musthave been there after the owners passing.
The clock in the living room with the glass dome which was referred to as a Pendulum clock is really called in the USA as a Anniversary clock. I have 2 of them. You have to use a key to wind them to make them work. Love this old house.
Regarding the red paint: It's made of iron ore from a mine in the town Falun. It's a very porous paint which alows the wood to breathe - which is very important. It's also a paint you can mix yourself, thus making it pretty cheap. You do have to repaint every few years, though. It's washing of when it rains.
Huskvarna, as others have mentioned, is a Swedish company with a long history. It started in a town with the same name.
The window lamps are not Jewish - Jewish candle holders have eight candles. The crosses in the psalm book should've made it clear to you that they weren't Jewish.
No central heating. The fireplaces are individual.
That's just a few of the things you got completely wrong.
I have found that a lot of European younger people do not have any idea about different religions and especially don't recognize the Bible and parts of one.
Lesley your videos help my wife and I fall asleep every night love your videos!
I fell asleep watching last night and had to find where I dozed off this morning. It has to be Lesley's voice and the calming way he speaks, which is so relaxing. I'm glad he mentioned the lack of bedrooms and no bathroom because I thought I must have nodded off briefly and missed them! 🤭
These young men’s voices are very soothing. I agree. They make the videos very relaxing.
This is such a lovely and beautiful home, seems quite large too.
The little bird that picked things up, that was a cigarette box. The bird plucked up cigarettes. Lol
First of all, thank you very much for the video. That color is pistachio green. It's a very heartwarming color🎉❤❤
Can't wait to see this marvelous Sweden place. Beautiful wood houses. 🎉
The painting style, on the box from 1947, is called "kurbits-painting". That kind of painting, You also can see on the "dalahäst" (dalahorse).
My husband's family was from Sweden. We had one of those bird boxes. You would put cigarettes in the box and the bird would pick it up.
Can’t wait this, warm regards from land of Borneo🫶🏽
Hello,Lesley and Danny! I really enjoyed watching your exploration of Rudolf's cozy interesting house! I particulary liked "the art room", so many beautiful paintings and family pictures!
You're the best ,as always! ❤

The pink book on the shelf under the tape player was a Listening to the Great Teacher book from the Watchtower and Tract Society of Jehovah's Witnesses from about 1971.
Sometimes I really wonder how people can watch such nice videos and not give it a thumbs up. It takes such little effort. As always you have done a wonderful job of giving us a glimpse into someone's life.
I’m wondering if possibly the reason the green kitchen had such low cabinets, sink, table etc was to accommodate wheelchair access? Just an idea.
Many sinks were low back in time. It would be difficult for a person using wheelchair when there is a porch.
I would be very upset if that was the bathroom, and I had to go 1/4 mile everytime I had to use the restroom.
Especially when there’s deep snow outside!
Lesley Danny muchas gracias por su trabajo tan interesante. Me encanta tu narración, Lesley sin infundir miedo, al contrario resaltas los detalles la belleza del lugar. Saludos gratos desde Coahuila, México.
I wasn't sure if Sweden has moose or not, so looked it up and yes, they have a lot, so I'm voting for moose antlers.
So many beautiful abandoned houses but each one has a story, congratulations on the videos ✨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What an interesting and beautiful house. Abandoned for twenty years, still so well preserved. What a shame the roof has started leaking and this house, with all its fascinating contents, is down for the count.😓
Wow!!!nice Video!!!
Thankyou!!!🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪⭕️⭕️⭕️
Hi everyone from Nova Scotia, Canada eh! 😊👋
Always love watching you two! I love that you capture these houses before they are gone forever!

Thanks guys for another beautiful video. Those little clips you handled at 15:01 are tie clips, used to hold a tie to your shirt so it doesn't flop around. I used to wear them when I was young.
🕸🙇♀️💕”..So beautiful stunning!, Thank you Lesley and Denny”
I love the background music you use.
Feeling the serenity and happiness so far from bustling life. ❤
What a fantastic house liked the chair and the tape recorder never seen one like that before so glad it's not been vandalised fantastic wee place everything's still where it was when the person lived there shame about the ceiling water coming in. can't wait for your next one 👀you next week
Hi guys, love your travels and how you explore the places! The wooden bird piece in the upstairs space is a toothpick holder. Toothpicks go into the top and the bird beak plucks one up for a person to use. Enjoy!!
Sorry, it's a cigarette dispenser. The bird beak is too big to pick up a toothpick.
A beautiful home, wonderful memories. You are wonderful in your respect for this family’s belongings... As for the wooden boxes with the bird with the open beak, they are designated for catching cigarettes. My father had one like this, and it is wonderful... Greetings to you 🌷🌷
☎️Absolutely love watching the care and respect you both give to these deserted homes.
📽️Your video skills are ace! 🙏🏽Thanks for all the journeys, following from Australia.
Hi love watching you all love the door s keep on looking love Patricia curry Danville VA ❤
Love the Swedish houses, thanks for letting us explore with you. My wife and I always love your videos.
Every week we can't wait to see your great videos!!
Such beautiful art. The mosaic pieces are very nice and very intricate! Maybe the second house was the one that went thru the flood? Just a thought.
Very cool found property to explore, lovely home, I think the second house in the property was a place maybe they build it for their children but it’s incomplete, their children doesn’t seem to be interested in the property and a life in a farm, sad to see it got abandoned, thank you for sharing it’s interesting indeed
I have a friend from Sweden. Their farm also has two houses. The old house and a newer house. My friend uses the old house to store their stuff and stay in when they visit from their current home abroad.
@@dirtywaterpj_dj interesting, but the second house in this property doesn’t have a bathroom yet , I believe it’s still under construction as well as some of the rooms is incomplete specially in attic , look like they are planning to make a bathroom up there I saw the wall and high ceiling
What a lovely house! Thanks for sharing it with us 🤗
Two awesome men. God loves you both so much! Thanks for the video❤
I love the persil picture vintage advertising xxx or maybe an antique?
Kitchen was avocado green very popular in the 1970's. My mom painted her cabinets that color and had new stove and fridge that color as well lol. Lovely old reel to reel tape recorder. The mosaic pieces are pretty! Great video...Thanks guys! Falu Red, also known as Falun Red or Swedish Red Paint, is a traditional and iconic red paint color used extensively on wooden houses, barns, and other structures in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. It is characterized by its deep red hue and has a long history of use in Nordic architecture. 👍👍
Thank you for all you do to bring to life the history of homes like the one. The pictures left behind, the little things that adorned this home, mesmerizing. Wonder about the bathroom situation.
I'll always watch your video and I love it,love from Philippines ❤
Well, Danny & Lesley, ty both sooo much for an amazing video. Appreciate you both. Love from AZ-US 😊😊
Leslie! The boxes with the little bird is a cigarette box. You put the cigarettes in the little bin. When you operate the box a little drawer opens with a cigarette. The bird bends down and picks up the cigarette.
Me pone contenta cada vez que mostras una casa en Suecia. Espero ver si encontras alguna máquina de coser de la marca Husqvarna. Tengo una de 1958 y es una maravilla sueca. Saludos desde Argentina.
Tack de va så spännande att se denna film 🎥
Super video😊
È veramente straordinario
Queste case svedesi con queste cucine minuscole e arredamento molto diverso ma affascinante immersa nel verde è rimasto tutto intatto non avevo mai visto una stufa così particolare .. molto interessante ... grazie Lesley e Danny siete come sempre super 💪💪💪💪💪🧡💛💚🍀🍀🍀
That woodbird picking up cigaretts i think...
I totally agree.
My grandfather used to have a cigarette box like that.
Ah, I thought it was for toothpicks. Interesting.
Nice video- half swede from USA- come on, guys- who does not know Husqvarna is from Sweden- such an iconic company, everyone here has Husqvarna chainsaws. Never saw “puke” that color- more like spring green, or celery green. Oh well, probably lost in translation- your english is very good. Best regards
The two boxes with the birds would pick up cigarettes that were placed in the box. Thank you for showing the odd home.
Oh mein Gott 😍 vielen Dank euch beiden für die wundervolle Reise zu diesem bezaubernden Haus. Ich liebe diese roten Schwedenhäuser❤
Wenn ich eure Videos ansehe, ist es, als wäre ich wirklich dort. Also vielen Dank 🙏
Thank you
Nice to see you guys again.
The wooden bird on the table was a cigarette holder. You fill it, and the bird could pick it up one by one.
The duck decorative piece upstairs is similar in action to a cigarette holder/dispenser, where you would load the cigarettes into the bin part then one would roll into the little drawer, and when the duck came down, he would grab the cigarette with his beak, and bring it back up.
Is that not a powder horn for carrying gunpowder for an old flintlock firearm? If it's that, there would have to be a way to stopper both ends. If it's for blowing, there would have to be a reed to make the sound. It doesn't matter but is neat to try and figure things out.
Enjoy so much your conversations as you explore..it's like traveling with friends. The rooms in this house are quite large, I think they were pretty well off or comfortable in the day. Thanks for another great explore.
I love this home. So sorry to see it decay.
Those are Swedish advent candles. To light for the days leading to Christmas.☺
The candles in the windows are a Scandinavian tradition, placed a month before Christmas and kept out during the darkest part of winter. I was told that they guide your family and friends home
That green is called Avacado green,it was very popular in the late 60s,my sister had a green frig. They also made that color in bathroom fixturesas well as appliances.That was a horse hair bow used for playing violin,.the duck picks up tooth picks ,psalms book is in the bible ,christianityI really like all those floor lamps.Very cute but not over stuffed with large furniture.,very nice furniyure,I wish the owners would save the home,so sweet of you guys to get the bucket.Hello from Oklahoma USA.👍❤️🇺🇸
The box with the bird was a cigarette box. My father had one similar.
The “snare” you referred to Lesley of the violin is actually called the bow.
😊 Boxes are cigarette dispenser. The birds dip down to lift the cigarette from the box. They are in great condition.
The wooden bird, is for cigarettes, the birds picks them up with beak. I see this before. 🐨💗
I would love to remodle this fantastic house and clean up those grounds. That would be so much fun, I could bring this property back to life.
The additional building could have been a summer kitchen, to keep the heat out of the main house. It's interesting that they also have a camper.
27:11 Thats a bag from the store XXL. The first store opened in 2010, judging by the houses location the nearest XXL store would be opened in the late 2010, maybe even 2020. I wonder who put that there and what it contains.
Hello from USA. Grew up on a farm thousands of miles away from this farm but so many things are the same.
You always tell interesting stories.
The reason for why red paint is so common on older houses:
- The pigment in the color commonly used was a byproduct of mining copper, and therefore cheap to buy.
- It contained some kind of poison, thus had a somewhat protecting effect on the wood.
- The trend for the color being popular was due to rich/royalites using brick. People wanted their houses to look more exclusive/expensive than it actually was.
Every home needs a bathroom
Yeah that green colored kitchen used to be incredibly popular. My family's old cabin has the very same looking cabinets. They are absolutely nasty looking but there is a charm to it, but could just be nostalgia speaking 😁
The house looks remarkably clean and unmoldy for a farm house that was submerged by water from the failed dam.
Hi lesley & Danny please be careful guys of black mould it's sad that this home is abandoned your definitely right about the green coloured kitchen it's the same colour as Snot, I had a green kitchen at my old house such history in this home be careful on those narrow stairs both of you I'm just asking where are the bedrooms & where's the bathroom? It was nice to see you to Danny.
Those candle holders are one of the most common Christmas ornaments in Sweden, seen in almost every window during the season. So even though it surely has ties to judaism, it does'nt mean anything religious at all to most people in Sweden.
Also, in one of the cabinets was a plastic bag from the company XXL, which was founded in 2000. So unless someone has been there after the house got abondoned, and left that bag in the cabinet (which of course is a possibility), you're off with about a decade.
Other than that, awesome video!
The Jewish menorah holds eight candles. The candle holders you see in Swedish homes hold 7 candles.
The traditional use for Swedish candelabras is to mark Advent, which begins four Sundays before Christmas. Another name for these candelabras is Adventljusstake, meaning Advent candlestick. Many people use these candelabras for Christmas, or even as a nice decorative touch throughout the dark winter days.
😊 Very neat exploration. Love this house. Also I believe the green on the cabinets is viridian green. I love shades of green except that one. 😊 Viridian green is just not a pretty green but maybe that was all they could get at the time.
Thanks for your video and your so funny we love you both.
At one time they didnt build homes with bathrooms and had outhouses or a porcelain potty to use ,for bad weather times and night time especially for kids ,both my grandparents lived in house with no bathroom,at least in America ,the average homes didnt start having them to around the 30's ,when i was little like nefore school time,the late 60"s , you could still rent houses like tbat but now they have to have bathrooms ,both grandmas lived in homes with bathrooms when i got older
