Eksjö's idyllic town center is home to more than 50 listed wooden houses, making it one of the best-preserved wooden towns in Europe. Here, you can marvel at architecture and memories spanning over four centuries. Eksjö as a town has existed since the 15th century. However, it burned down completely in the mid-16th century and had to be rebuilt. Most of the buildings in the picturesque town center today were constructed after the fire. Many of the houses you can admire today were built in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries.
