Ettan
Ettan was built in the 1790s as an office and residence for the master shipbuilder.
It became accommodation for summer visitors in the 1820s. It was probably used as a family residence by spa guests with many children who maintained their own household.
The veranda, an essential feature of a summer house, was added at the end of the 19th century.
The antiquarian Bror Emil Hildebrand visited Gustafsberg in the summer of 1836. The following year, he was appointed Director General of the Swedish National Heritage Board. He wrote detailed letters about his stay to his sister-in-law Ebba Hildebrand.
Together with several other spa guests, Hildebrand introduced a mock spa court. It parodied the serious hearings on public order held by the spa court at Medevi Brunn in the 18th century.
At Gustafsberg in the summer of 1836, the court was a social entertainment in which guests were fined for various offences, such as drinking milk at all hours.
