The Great Death, the plague that also called black death swept over Sweden between the 1350s and 18th centuries and swept over Fårö on several occasions. The Great Death broke many ties that existed on Fårö, between neighbors, relatives and friends, as the rumor of touch from others could mean even death. So if someone starved or suffered from distress, he received no help. The people on the island did not know if it was Jesus' return or Ragnarök who was at the door.

When Digerdöden reached Langhammars, many farms around became empty. An old woman in her 70s found herself alone and in the worry that Black Death would visit her next, she left her home. She packed the essentials, as well as her belongings and family heirlooms. The question then was, where could she go? Everyone on the island took shortcuts and side tracks to avoid each other, so her choices were limited. Langhammarshammaren or "Hamar" as the locals called it then, she realized would be a good place.

During these times, few went out there.

Once in place, she found a rauk that was shaped like a cupola with grass in it as a floor.

It was also difficult to get into it, so no one would go there and look.

With the help of some driftwood she had found along the shore, she was able to get in. The driftwood and a sail also gave her a roof over her head.

This would be her new home.

However, loneliness was now a threat. She knew she would go crazy if all she heard was the wind and the waves crashing against the shore.

So she visited her farm again. She fetched more necessities but also a newborn calf. It would be her company as she sat knitting under the gray sail that camouflaged their existence.

When someone visited Hamaren to look for driftwood, the old woman put a cloth in the calf's mouth, to silence its roaring.

As winter approached, some wanderers could hear the calf's roar. We still do not know what it was that took the old woman's life. It may have been starvation, cold or just the years. What is known is that Digerdöden never got her.

The calf was then helped to find his mother's home and the old woman was helped to the cemetery. In the rauk were found all the invaluable objects that had been inherited for generations, but with a family branch that ended there. That is why the place today is called Guldstugan.

Where these objects went and are today, has disappeared in time.
