The Krusenstiernska garden is a bourgeois garden that was built after Kalmar city moved to Kvarnholmen. It is preserved in its 19th-century condition thanks to the last owner, who donated the farm to the city on the condition that it would be preserved as a cultural reserve. When you pass the gate through the red fence, it's like traveling 100 years back in time! Here you will find a beautiful 19th-century garden, a popular café with home baking, and trained fruit trees. Even in the residential house, it feels as if time has stood still.
The rows of stones on the ground outside the garden mark the old city wall and the western gate of the medieval city. Even the small yellow residential building had to adapt its extension to the stretch of the wall through a glazed section.
The large green space is called Gullbrandssonska lyckan after the man who had a nursery here in the 19th century. During World War II, the area was cultivated with potatoes and vegetables. The lawn is appreciated as a recreational area and highlights the surrounding beautiful old houses.
