The outbuildings were one of the things we really liked about the property.
The patio furniture one (

) is a "ängslada", the walls slope so that the base is narrower than the uppermost part of the walls are designed to keep hay in--that sort of wall slope means that the hay doesn't get wet and rot. They normally sat next to the hay fields and got filled over the summer, then in the winter the hay would be carried by horse drawn sled to the main part of the farm to feed the animals. This one was modified (the door taken away and the door opening seriously enlarged) to make an area to enjoy being outside when it is rainy (or, if they are like me, if it is too sunny, I suppose)
The series of cabins (

) is an "uthuslänga", as series of out-houses that are build together in a series. They often include sections for general storage, wood sheds, and even simple rooms to live in during the summer. This one has a two-seater "utedass" (outhouse) on one end, two rooms that are suitable for summer living (

and
https://mspecsfiles2.blob.core.windows.net/0421/images/original/eec88870-228f-11ec-a70b-831440242aee.jpg
) the wood storage (
https://mspecsfiles2.blob.core.windows.net/0421/images/original/ee477190-228f-11ec-8b5e-198b296317d0.jpg
) which looks like a lot, but likely isn't quite enough to get a family through the winter if they heat with wood.
The earth cellar (jördkälleren) is the one half-buried (
https://mspecsfiles2.blob.core.windows.net/0421/images/original/f2125c40-228f-11ec-a70b-831440242aee.jpg
) and is used to keep food cool in the summer (and keep it from freezing in the winter) it is near the sauna, which is made like a barrel, which is a very modern variation (
https://mspecsfiles2.blob.core.windows.net/0421/images/original/f2a6d410-228f-11ec-ad8b-f3c34dbe2f92.jpg
)
the big, tall barn (left end of
https://mspecsfiles2.blob.core.windows.net/0421/images/original/951f1540-2290-11ec-ad8b-f3c34dbe2f92.jpg
) would originally been the large hay storage barn, and in more recent years would have stored large farm machines like tractors (we wanted to put in a climbing wall, and use it as a feast hall for small SCA events, adding stained glass windows up high on this wall:

--what a shame the bidding went over what I can afford)
https://mspecsfiles2.blob.core.windows.net/0421/images/original/efb35da0-228f-11ec-a70b-831440242aee.jpg
.
the lower part of that building right hand end had concrete floor and walls--that one was for cows (or pigs or goats), with different layers in the floor for allowing the animal waste products to collect and then be taken away for use as fertilizer. These days this one is being used as a workshop (
https://mspecsfiles2.blob.core.windows.net/0421/images/original/f010bfe0-228f-11ec-ad8b-f3c34dbe2f92.jpg
) and this part also has a trough to collect the fertilizer, so it would also have had animals:
