A beautiful little building

Those of you familiar with Sweden (Scandinavia?) will recognise what this building is, thanks to the heart on the door.
It is just outside the wonderful medieval church in Ytterlännas which I blipped back in February.
It is actually the outside toilet, a sort of earth closet, as the church has no electricity or sewage connections. It is almost as beautiful on the inside as the outside. Like many traditional Swedish outdoor toilets there are two holes to sit on in the bench so you can share the toilet and chat your friend at the same time!
It is well maintained and even in this hot weather was not in the least smelly!
We were actually here to hear Ulrika Bodén sing her traditional folk music. You can hear her on Youtube naturally but here at the church she sang totally unaccompanied, or played an accompaniment herself on a strange sort of zither. You can see a picture of her in the church (and her instrument) on JanetH's blip.
