The Mankell Cultural Centre is located in the People’s Palace and is an exhibition based upon the authorship of Henning Mankell. `Henning Mankell’s Sveg´ is a guided tour based upon the four books about Joel and Henning Mankell during the 1950’s when they were growing up in Sveg.

The Swedish witch trial started in Lillhärdal when Big-Märit was convicted of being a witch in the 17th century.
