curmanskavillas

Looks more like a study and possibly a place for some snacks.

I know for certain that this is a corner of the diningroom in one of the houses, "Storstugan" in Lysekil. I have been there. It looks the same today. Carl Curman was my great grandfather./ Ebba Curman

ebbacurman: Oh, thanks! That kind of expertice you represent is the absolutely best one! Thanks! As far as I remember the villas still belong to the Curman family, is that correct? / Lars L

Yes, the villas belong the ancesters of Carl Curman and are run as a company. Theys still look nearly exactly the same as when he died. It is as if you are staying in a living museum. Quite spectacular. The exterior has been renovated quite recently in a very careful way, where one tried to resemble the look of the villas from the beginning, with the exact colours and so on. /Ebba Curman

Vi har Calla Curman att tacka för bevarandet av Stångehuvud (Naturreservat) som annars skulle ha blivit stenbrott.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Sweden before 1945, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Thanks to this remarkable woman (Calla Curman) we can today enjoy the beauty of the nature reserve "Stångehuvud". If it hadn´t been for Mrs Curman the whole place would have been a giant quarry.
