Welcome to stay in our unique house in a peaceful place in the countryside.
We are Emma Lindén Wålstedt and Linus Wålstedt, the owners of Minnesberg Bed & Breakfast. We bought the house and the business in the fall of 2023 from the previouse owners who stared a bed & breakfast a few years ago, and we run the business since the spring of 2024.
We are located in the beautiful landscape between Svedala and Trelleborg, close to nature. You can sit under an apple tree and enjoy the tranquility of the countryside or walk in the beautiful surroundings, which are yellow from canola in the spring. In summer time the house with its apple orchard is wonderful and in the autumn you can pick apples or pears from one of our many fruit trees.
We hope that you will feel at home with us!
Welcome!
Emma Lindén Wålstedt & Linus Wålstedt
About Minnesberg Bricklaying company and our house
Minnesbergs Tegelbruksbolag (Minnesberg Bricklaying company) was founded in 1883 and reconstituted to Minnesberg Tegelbruks Aktiebolag (Minnesberg Bricklaying Ltd) in 1888. The production was from the beginning specialized in finer tile, glazed tile and details but during the 20th century it was changed to more roof tile and brick facade. Minnesberg Bricklaying company delivered e.g. tiles to several large church-buildings, e.g. to the church of Luleå and the church of Tygelsjö, to the sugar factories in e.g. Trelleborg and Svedala, to factory buildings, e.g.the steam mill in Kalmar and a dairy in Visby on the island of Gotland, etc. The bricklaying company was closed down in 1993, but several of the buildings are still there and are used as e.g. warehouse.
Our house was built in 1900 and has been the office of the bricklaying company. Eventually it also became the residence of the managing director Arne Mörck and his family. Arne Mörck started working in the company in 1935 and succeeded his father Hjalmar Mörck as managing director in 1939.
The community is characterized by a style of construction with brick houses, built of the local tiles.
