Sandellmuseet i Fröderyd - Lina Sandell Museum in Fröderyd (Visit this link) popular
In Swedish only. Fröderyd was Lina Sandell’s childhood home which was the parsonage of her father, Jonas Sandell, pastor of the parish. Each room in the home spoke of piety and simplicity. As a young woman Lina accompanied her father on a boat trip to Gothenburg. In that voyage Jonas fell overboard and drowned before Lina's eyes. Two years later her mother also died. These tragedies inspired Lina Sandell to write her well loved hymns as Blott en dag (Day by Day) and Tryggare kan ingen vara (Children of the Heavenly Father). Lina Sandell vrote over 2,500 hymns.
