Here are all the houses you’ve seen and learned to love in the Emil films.<\/p>\n

In the small village of Gibberyd, the classic Emil films were shot in 1971 \u2013 73. Experience the atmosphere of the well-preserved film environment and visit the world-famous snickerboa where Allan Edwall so many times hunted down our Emil. In the snickerboa, Emil had to contemplate his deeds and there he passed the time by carving an old man. As you know, there were many old men… Meet all the animals on the farm in the idyllic and unique environment. Here you will find a snickerboa filled with Emil’s wooden men, Trisseboa, Alfred’s farm cabin and the Svensson family’s beautiful house and the flagpole where Ida was hoisted in the famous films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":87282,"template":"","experience_region":[781],"experience_category":[848,849,878,879],"class_list":["post-87287","experience","type-experience","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","experience_region-kalmar","experience_category-place","experience_category-place-en","experience_category-culturalexperience","experience_category-culturalexperience-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nKatthult | Visit Sm\u00e5land<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In the small village of Gibberyd, the classic Emil films were shot in 1971 \u2013 73.
