Until 1970, the physical house used during
the TV series and some films starring
Inger Nilsson was located in a garden belonging to the
Gotland Infantry Regiment (I 18) in ,
Visby, on the Swedish island of
Gotland. Built as early as 1902, before being used as a movie set it served as a steward's residence, as a private house, and later as an ammunition and underpants store. After being purchased by
SVT, it was renovated and repainted in flamboyant colors for its new purpose. The garden where the so-called Villa Villekulla stood in that period can still be seen. After the 1969 filming, the house was purchased by director Einar Nyberg for 53,000 kronor. In December 1969, the house was moved a few kilometers away to
Kneippbyn, a
theme park in the locality of
Vibble. The house was moved on specially built metal rails that functioned as a sled. The films
Pippi in the South Seas and
Pippi on the Run were shot there and where the building remains to this day, open for visits. == Gallery ==
