This is the childhood home of the Norwegian poet Bjørnstjerne Martinius Bjørnson (1832-1910; Nobel Prize in literature, 1903). Seven of the buildings are apparently still from his time but the place was deserted so just a few pictures of the buildings. I really like the vegetation on the roof :)
And to conclude some wise words from the man:
"I valg mellom falske venner og åpne fiender har jeg alltid foretrukket det siste."
When chosing between false friends or open enemies I have always preferred the latter (my rather poor translation).
Wise words indeed....and the green roofs are really cool....I love the log cabins with grass roofs
