The Vastveit Storehouse.

The Vastveit Storehouse is one of the oldest buildings at Skansen. It was erected in the 14th century but rebuilt at the end of the 18th century. At that time it was raised up on posts and the entrance was built in with carved decorations.
(I did notice the Norwegian style when we were there, but I didn’t reflect more on it.)
The Vastveit Storehouse comes from the farm of Vastveit in Telemark in Norway and is the only building at Skansen that is not of Swedish origin. When Hazelius acquired the building Sweden was still unified with Norway. The union with Norway ended only in 1905.

Jøssesen å min, nå sier jeg natta til deg på kvelden, også er en her inne igjen tidlig morgen rundt 7… Litt godt også, litt Morten og kaffe før legemas tar over.
Yes, en slik liten bu kunne en nå tenkt seg i hagen ja, men i storbyen i Sverige hva gjør den nå malpaset der???

Woow .. är det så gammalt . där ser man ..de kan bygga de som var långt före oss .. det de byggde det håll i alla fall i flera århundrade tydligen .. ja förutom att de fick bygga upp det lite igen förstås :9 men det var väldigt intressant att få se ett så gammalt “konstverk”

Quite an interesting structure. I see the front part of the building is supported by a large boulder. What was really stored there?

De kunne det i gamle dager her i Norge også!!
Fikk lyst til å ta en ny tur til Folkemuseet etter å ha studert dette bildet, men venter antagelig til det blir litt mer snø der ute. Området er nemlig vel verd et besøk på vinterstid også.
