In the dense forests of southern Småland, Sweden, a small cabin nearly disappears into the landscape. Known as a backstuga, or “hill cottage,” this type of home was a lifeline for Sweden’s poorest during the 17th and 18th centuries. Built partially into a hillside, these dwellings featured three wooden walls, with the hill itself forming the fourth. The roofs, covered with sod, merged with the surrounding earth, providing both insulation and camouflage.
These cottages were often just a single room, offering little more than the bare essentials for survival. Backstugas were particularly common in southern and southwestern Sweden, where wood was a luxury and practicality shaped every element of construction. While rare today, they stand as a reminder of a time when ingenuity met necessity in the face of hardship.
