In Sweden&#x27;s only preserved guild hall, time has stood still around the year 1930. Since the Middle Ages, wine carriers had transported wine barrels in the city. In the guild hall in the Old Town you can hear about the wine carriers&#x27; tools, their lives and Christmas celebrations. Christmas Eve was brightened up with juniper-covered floors and something delicious so that people didn&#x27;t &quot;go out with Christmas&quot;.
