The building in the Wiksberg Manor grounds was originally constructed in the 1840s. The Wiksberg Manor Garden Plots Association is restoring the building through volunteer efforts, gradually bringing it back into use. The upstairs Art Attic was opened for exhibitions in summer 2024. The space, with its old, partially charred logs, rugged brick walls, and graffiti accumulated over time, offers a uniquely atmospheric setting for art exhibitions.
