Bietilægården
0
Bietilægården is a farm from the 1800s. The farm has traditions from coastal culture and agriculture. It was built by Kven immigrants and consists of a residential house, three barns, a quay facility, and a slipway for boat launching. The farm is located in inndrebyen in Vadsø, formerly called Kvenby. The first residents of the house came from Kemi in Finland, but since then several families have lived there simultaneously. These families have lived off fishing, farming, and transporting goods by boat. The farm is typical of the architecture that characterized Vadsø before World War II. The farm was protected in 1990, and after many years of standing empty, it was eventually restored with funds from the Directorate for Cultural Heritage and under the leadership of Finnmark County Municipality. You have now completed the entire cultural trail. I hope you have learned a lot about the history of Vadsø and continue to explore our beautiful city. We hope to see you again soon with even more points for you to explore.
