Nesset Vicarage – Barn

Earlier the animals on the farm were kept in different buildings. But when the parish priest Thorsen came to the farm in 1896 the buildings were dilapidated and he built a new operations building which was completed in 1902. He used local labour, so the funds he received in support of the building went back to the community. The building was in use right up until when the last tenants moved out in 1971. After that the building was rented out for use in animal husbandry until 1990. The barn has now been converted into a cultural house and museum with training and function rooms. If you want an authentic and unique venue in an historic environment then the barn could be the right place for you! For further information on renting the venue contact the Romsdal museum. The yard consists of 9 listed buildings and extensive restoration works have been carried out in collaboration with the county antiquarian. In 2010 Nesset vicarage was awarded the St. Olav’s Rose, a Norwegian cultural heritage quality mark. The quality mark represents unique experiences rooted in Norwegian heritage. The prize was awarded during a royal visit on the 29th August 2010.
