Tiondeladan in Hablingbo, Gotland
The vicarage environment in Hablingbo with a relatively open green area of a park character constitutes a well-composed whole that is characterized by period-typical buildings characteristic of Gotland.
The manor house was built in 1759-60, possibly on an old foundation.
The rectory is built of stone on two floors and its compact building body’s smooth, simply designed facades with gables without roof overhangs and the highest roof, is an excellent example of the Gotland building condition in the middle of the 18th century.
Outbuilding
The brewery house was built of stone west of the main building, probably in 1869. It is built together with the limestone house built in 1810 with a meat, fish and mangel shed and a small cattle house.
In 1810, the outbuilding was added, also in limestone and containing small cattle houses and retirement.
The barn and the tithing barn
The barn previously consisted of three buildings on the other side of the road. Of these, Sliteladan, from 1875, as well as the “tithing barn” built in 1822, have been preserved to this day.
The latter is probably the only preserved tithe barn on Gotland.
Some of the buildings were renovated during the 1990s.
It was built in 1822 when the law was still in force that the parish should provide one for its pastor. But after 1862 the tithe did not have to be kept in the rectory and after 1910 the peasants were no longer obliged to keep tithes.
I do not know how the tithe was distributed in the 19th century, but Gutalagen contains a provision from the early Middle Ages on when and how tithing was to be paid. The boys also had an agreement with the pope himself on how it would be distributed: 1/3 to the church, 1/3 to the priest and 1/3 to the poor. The bishops of Linköping have several times during the course of time tried to change this distribution, and of course they wanted to seize part of the poor’s share for other purposes.
We explain how the people of the Middle Ages took care of each other on the side of the medieval society, care , and that is probably not what you have learned in school.
The tithe may not be much to see but it can be good to know what is written there.
