Nesset Vicarage – The Eldhus

This house was of old called the bake house, but we call it the eldhus. It was probably built at the end of the 1700 century or the start of the 1800s. At that time there were two open chimney pits, one in each room. The inventory that is there today was in place around 1900. Here there would have been a bread oven, corn dryer and large cooking pans. Previously, the eldhus was the farm’s utility room and the outermost room was used for butchery. The stone oven has been restored and is still in use. The oven can bake around 18 loaves of bread at a time.
