The village of Skattlösberg has a history dating back to the 16th century when Finnish peasants came to say. The authorities wanted the land to be cultivated and offered the peasants exemption from taxes. The village was referred to as the "the capital of Finnmark." Approximately ten poor Finnish farmers settled here cultivating the land by ash farming but soon large amounts of charcoal was required for the blast-furnaces and the Finns were forced to produce charcoal to supply the iron works.

The Swedish (working class) poet dan Andersson was born in this village in 1888. His father was a school teacher and the family moved from place to place in the Finnmark. Dan Andersson worked with charcoal burning in his early years before he really took up writing. In 1991 the family moved back and settled in the Loussa cottage were Dan lived between 1911 and 1915.

The pictures in this gallery shows the Loussa cottage and some of the oldest buildings from the 16th-17th centuries collected in Finngammelgården.
