REQUEST INFORMATION View on map

Vormsi is an island where Swedes lived for centuries. Documents show that there was a settlement as early as in the 13th century. Vormsi was a Swedish-speaking island, where, for example, in 1934, 2,393 Swedes and 122 Estonians lived.
Vormsi Farm Museum is a typical pre-World War II farm of Estonian Swedish people. The farm has been restored with the help of old photographs, written sources, and the memories of the people of Vormsi who were born in Vormsi and fled Sweden to escape the war.
The museum sells Vormsi handicrafts, souvenirs, and Vormsi-themed books.

Vid mitt besök fanns många i resegruppen som blev förvånade när de hörde att de som arbetade vid anläggningen kunde tala svenska. Det är S.O.V. ( Svenska Odlingens Vänner) som sköter denna anläggning...
