Tomte: the Gnome, the Myth, the Legend
Do you believe? We do. Meet this elusive figure or reintroduce yourself to a classic found in centuries-old folklore. Explore the world of tomte, the mythical guardian of Scandinavian homesteads - and of course their home in the Turnblad Mansion! More than just a gnome, tomte is known for his iconic red cap and long beard, but there's much more to discover of tomte through the ages.
