Helénsparken

In the heart of Skövde, Helénsparken is a charming green oasis featuring a playground and quaint shops housed in historic red cottages. The park boasts a stage occasionally used for local events, and within its grounds stands Helénstugan, Skövde's oldest building. Believed to have been constructed in the early 18th century, Helénstugan is a residential gem that survived the significant town fire of 1759, making it a unique testament to Skövde's history. Named after its last inhabitants, Lotta and Petter Helén, the cabin preserves a piece of the town's architectural heritage.
