Stiftelsen Gamleby Tingshus /Foundation Gamleby Courthouse
General information
Brief description of organisation
The Gamleby Courthouse Foundation was formed in 1960 after the court held its last meeting in December 1959, and moved to Västervik, a larger nearby town.
The Foundations mission is to manage and maintain the courthouse building and support cultural activities in the building, as well as preserve the old courtroom as a museum.
During 50 years there has been a lawyers office, doctors surgery, municipal music school, educational associations and student housing in the building. The Courthouse along with the garden is a Cultural Heritage building, for more visit: information.www.kalmarlansstyrelse.se
Cultural Society Ting For Everyone was formed in 2015 and officially opened as a cultural centre with the ambition that the house should be buzzing with cultural activities. Cultural Society is currently renting the old residence apartment and kitchen garden. For more information visit: www.gamlebykulturhus.se
