How did a humble cottage survive the relentless march of time? Right before you stands Jan-Pers stuga, a testament to a bygone era. This unassuming dwelling, dating back to the late 18th century, is the sole survivor of the vanished farming village that once defined Vällinby. Imagine a time when the cityscape you see around you was a tapestry of fields and farmsteads. Jan-Pers stuga stands as a poignant reminder of that era, a whisper of the past amidst the modern clamor. This cottage, without its own designated address, sits tucked away on the property behind the building at Årevägen 15. For many years, until the bustling 1950s, it belonged to the Råcksta farm. Jan-Pers stuga provided shelter to Magnus Eriksson, a retired laborer and stonemason who had toiled on the farm, and his adult daughter, Greta. But progress, like time, waits for no one. When Vällinby centrum began to rise, they, along with the echoes of the old village, were displaced. Today, Jan-Pers stuga stands protected, designated as a cultural monument. It serves as a vibrant hub for artisans, reborn as a handicraft studio, where creativity flourishes, breathing new life into this enduring symbol of Vällinby’s past.
