Six Centuries of Polman, Påhlman & von Pohlmann History — Preserved for the Next Six. ⚜️
Hej! Welcome to Polmanarkivet — the largest archive and museum dedicated to the history, culture, and stories of the Polman, Påhlman, and von Pohlmann families.
Here you will find original research, curated collections spanning six centuries, and historical storytelling grounded in that research. Our vision is to build something permanent, ensuring that the Polman, Påhlman, and von Pohlmann history is never lost.
Whether you're a descendant, a researcher, or simply drawn to Swedish history, I'm glad you're here. If you have information or objects that may deepen our understanding of the family, I would love to hear from you.
