About Perjonsgården

Nestled in the tranquil village of Hagen, where the Västerdalälven river gracefully meanders through Dala-Floda, lies the enchanting Perjonsgården. Here, the hustle of the city fades, and visitors are embraced by the whispers of the forests and the vast silence. Deep in the heart of Dalarna, in its spiritual center, a visionary artist found his muse and allowed himself to be influenced by the landscape's outstanding charm – the peaceful views, the historic summer farm trails, and the mysterious allure of the endless Dalarna forests.

Perjonsgården is more than just a place; it is a living echo of the artist Per-Hilding's extensive work and the strong connection he had to this unique part of Dalarna. The farm's timbered, Falu red buildings bear witness to generations of life and craftsmanship, harmoniously blending into Dalarna's iconic landscape. As a guest, you are invited to wander through rooms brimming with creations that fully reflect the local essence: the people, the vibrant folk music, the genuine craftsmanship, and the ever-changing beauty of the seasons. A peaceful atmosphere where brushstrokes, tradition, and architecture converge, where every detail seems to carry its own captivating story.

A visit to Perjonsgården is an invitation to step into a world where creative joy flowed in harmony with nature's own melody. Per-Hilding's works convey Dalarna's distinctiveness, where folk culture and modernity intertwined in both unexpected and poignant ways. He drew inspiration from local artistic traditions but interpreted them through a completely unique voice, a voice that still resonates strongly with today's visitors. It is an art that evokes contemplation and conveys an authentic sense of Dalarna's soul, far beyond the most trodden tourist paths.

In the calm corner of Perjonsgården, every traveler can find a much-needed break from the stress of everyday life and discover a part of Dalarna's rich cultural heritage that rarely receives the attention it deserves. It is the optimal destination for those who appreciate authenticity and a deeper insight into how an artist's identity is shaped by their homeland, and how this, in turn, was expressed through a rich and multifaceted artistic production. The farm is a tangible reminder that true beauty is often hidden in the nearby, in the down-to-earth, and in what we sometimes take for granted.
