Brooktorpsgården
If you would like to combine refreshments with 400-year-old architecture, Brooktorpsgården at Kyrkogatan 12 in Halmstad is a must. This is one of Halmstad’s oldest buildings. Home-baked pastries, sandwiches and lunches are on the menu... and, of course, refreshments always taste even better when served in a heritage-listed, half-timbered building with a rich history.
There’s something special about Brooktorpsgården. You can really feel the wingbeats of history as you crouch down and step through the low entrance. The small, picturesque courtyard opens up in front of you. Here you can enjoy a lunch or perhaps a great cup of coffee under the warming rays of the sun. If you’d rather sit inside and eat, climb to the top of the stairs, where you’ll be greeted by the pleasant staff. On the menu you will find everything from delicious cakes and sandwiches to salads and burger patties. There is something for every taste.
Halmstad’s oldest building
Brooktorpsgården is one of Halmstad’s oldest buildings. Nobody knows the exact age of the farm, but the residential building is believed to date from the 18th century. The half-timbered style was common during this century. The district in which the farm is located is also called Brooktorp, and one theory is that the medieval town may have been situated here.
