Klippen

Klippen is the name of this house which has become an important meeting place in Kvernes Cultural Area in recent years. The house was originally built as the prayer house on Veiset in 1927, and in 2008 the house was picked up and moved three kilometres over to Kvernes as a part of the National Heritage Board’s value creation programme. It was set up again here thanks to the hard work carried out by volunteers. And since then, many people have greatly enjoyed the gift of the house. Klippen is owned and run by Kvernes parish council, and the history association rent an office in the house. The house serves as a meeting place, often in connection with other activities that happen in the Cultural Area. Klippen can also be rented out for meetings, christenings, confirmations, or funeral wakes. Or you can drop in and enjoy a good cup of coffee and a chat after one of the Church concerts that are arranged throughout the year, but especially during the summer months here on Kvernes. If you are lucky, there may also be an exhibition showcasing the work of a local artist hanging on the walls when you arrive. Klippen has a great atmosphere, and it is a place that you can come to relax. This house was certainly a lovely gift to the Cultural Area.
