Borgviks Gård – art, culture, food and crafts
Borgviks Gård is one of Värmland's largest barns – an impressive 100 metres long. Today, the historic building is home to a restaurant, art gallery, café and farm shop, and is an attraction in its own right, well worth a visit.
Borgviks Gård has roots dating back to the 17th century and combines historic surroundings with art, culture, food and traditional crafts. In 2026, Borgviks Gård was named the winner of the Värmland Tourism Award.
