In 1886, Anders Zorn and his wife Emma, bought land close to Mora church and here they moved a cottage from his maternal grandfather’s farm. When Anders and Emma Zorn decided to return to Sweden after several years abroad, they began to enlarge the cottage. Zorngården[ was completed in 1910.

Zorngården remains today much as it was at the time of Emma Zorn’s death in 1942. It is a fine example of an artist’s home from the turn of the century. With inspiration from English and Swedish architecture, it is today an excellent example of the architectural freedom that characterizes the years around 1900. Source: Wikipedia.
