In Brunnsta, ancient and present meet. The buildings at Brunnsta Gård are parts of a village that has existed at least since the 17th century. In and around the village there are tombs, rune stones and rock carvings that testify to an even older history. Radbyn Brunnsta is one of the few preserved of its kind, since almost all Swedish villages were changed and the houses were moved to individual farms during the land reforms.
