In Gammelstad lives the Gammelstadsson mouse family – five little church mice who are our mascots. You’ll find them both in the church town and at the open-air museum Hägnan. Here’s your chance to get to know them better!
Grandma Musilda

Musilda Gammelstadsson - Warm-hearted, whimsical, and full of stories from the past.
“There’s so much joy in tales to tell, I’m old – and know Gammelstad quite well!”
Grandma Musilda has a heart full of stories and loves sharing them with anyone who wants to listen. She often talks about how things used to be, painting vivid pictures of life in the past. Her glasses are always going missing, and she often asks children to help her find them – a perfect excuse to chat about the place she loves most: Gammelstad.
Mom Matilda and big sister Majken

Matilda Gammelstadsson - The family’s adventure leader in any weather
“I love adventures, come sun or snow, in Gammelstad, there’s always fun to go!
From summer to winter, Easter to Yule, there’s always something fun and cool!"
Matilda loves discovering new things and believes that excitement is always just around the corner. It might be meeting one of Hägnan’s cows, sneaking in to watch the Christmas candles being dipped, or going on a walk around Gammelstad.
Majken Gammelstadsson - A fearless explorer with a vivid imagination
"My thoughts are quick and my feet are fast. With play and dreams, I learn my past."
Majken is the big sister in the family and a real bundle of energy. Her backpack is full of treasures – tape, string, and other things needed for adventures – and she loves building forts all around the church town and at Hägnan.
Dad Manfred and little brother Musse

Manfred Gammelstadsson - An inventive dad with magical coat pockets
"I’m a little quirky, that’s true indeed, inventing cool things is just what I need.
To one day create something clever and grand – That’s the dream I’ve always planned!"
Manfred loves fixing and repairing things – he’s a true mouse-MacGyver who can solve almost anything with what he has in his pockets, like a paperclip and a rubber band. He also loves baking and enjoys experimenting in the kitchen.
Musse Gammelstadsson - A calm thinker with a curiosity for life
"Reading is something I truly adore, one day I’ll write a book to explore.
Animals and nature bring me delight, and to sit and ponder just feels right"
Musse is calm and wise, often found with a book in one paw and a piece of cheese in the other. He loves understanding how the world works and enjoys listening to grandma Musilda’s stories.
