Pleasant and peaceful, this place was actually founded by a princess in the 19th century. Eugénie was the only daughter of King Oskar I and suffered from a cold, so her doctors advised her to spend some time on Gotland. When she came here in 1860, she grew fond of the island and particularly the area around Högklint, where she decided to build a house. The princess was a talented artist and Fridhem became something of an art center, which attracted many visitors. She spent 29 summers here and even today the house is part-hostel and part-museum thanks to the current owners, who have preserved many of Princess Eugénie’s belongings. The hostel has a high capacity but is naturally popular in the summer so book well in advance during peak season.
