The village of Västeräng. Is it possible to build new buildings in cultural heritage areas to maintain occupation, a "living country-side" and preserve the cultural heritage landscape? It is an interesting and challanging question that are often complicated and rises strong opinion. The three farms Ol-Ers, Ersk-Mickels and Schefners in the village of Västeräng in Delsbo parish will in 2002 be one of the first Cultural Heritage Reserves in Sweden. One of the premises for the constitution of this Cultural Reserve is the building of a new cow stable. Without cattle grazing in the village it is hard to keep the landscape open. The owners and representatives from the county administration will present the farm, the problems and the discussions about how to make this in the best way.
