Welcome to Fårö local heritage association

Fårö local heritage association manages some historical buildings such as Nanten´s windmill together with the house were Nanten lived his life as miller. The pilot´s cabin and Jauvika fisherman´s cottage at Lauter harbour are other historical buildings that we preserve for coming generations.
