The old vicarage in Ringebu
A beautiful farm next to the stave church of
Ringebu. In summer there are art exhibitions there, and the
main attraction is the Weidemann collection. Jacob Weidemann
is one of Norway's most known painters in modern time. His
paintings you can see in the nicely restored main building, as well
as a stave church exhibition. In the smaller store houses next
to the main building there are alternating sales exhibitions of
local art and craft.
The vicarage garden is being renewed and restored,
and from summer 2009 there will be the first planting of hardy roses
and local perennials and plants for rock gardens. The work
with the garden is mainly based on volunteer work.
Venabu has guided tours to the vicarage and the
stave church Sunday afternoons in the summer season. |
