Culture on site

Concerts, theatre, eurythmy, talks and guided tours. Ytterjärna is one of Sweden’s most distinctive cultural environments, and it is meant to be used.

Kulturhuset

At the centre of the area stands Kulturhuset, the culture house, designed by Erik Asmussen and inaugurated in 1992. It is built as a total work of art, in which architecture, colour, light and acoustics work together.

Concerts, theatre and eurythmy are held in Stora salen, the large hall, which has room for 500 people, a painted ceiling and coloured glass windows. The building is the most monumental expression of the ideas that have shaped the place since the 1960s.

A stage for more people

We want more people to be able to organise events and perform in Kulturhuset.

One of those who organise events here is Kulturhuset i Ytterjärna, one of the oldest organisations on site, with the building as its home stage. We want to broaden the programme further, with more organisers, more artists and more kinds of evenings. The foundation can also act as an organiser itself.

Would you like to put on a concert, a performance or something else on the stage? Get in touch and we will talk about how it could work.

Walking on your own

The park and the area are open to anyone who would like to take a walk. Signposted walking trails start from Kulturcentrum Järna and lead on into the cultural landscape of Sörmland, past farms, woodland and water.

Feel free to bring a flask. There are plenty of benches to stop at.
