Description: Named after its original place, this house is called Fällhult or Förläggargården Fällhult describing it as the estate of a pre-industrial textile entrepreneur. It was built in 1795 in the parish of Holsljunga, and became the birth-place of Anders Jönsson (1816-1890), a famous Swedish entrepreneur who continued a putting-out business here. He contracted up to 200 domestic workers, who came here to get the raw material and returned after a couple of weeks with textiles, that local peddlers from the city of Borås then bought and went out to sell among other things around Sweden and Norway. The building was moved from Fällhult in 1950 to the open air Borås museum of historical buildings in Ramnaparken.
