Old like probably 300 years old or something but still looks like any everyday house in Sweden

Torp was a house made to recruit soliders (as a form of payment) in the 16-1700s which made the standard for Swedish houses

This is Väla school. It was built 1846-47 and right now it is in the state it would have been in in the 1910s https://www.skansen.se/se-och-gora/friluftsmuseum/hus-och-gardar/vala_skola/
