The ‘Castle’ at Ask
0
Do you believe in ghosts? We are now passing the small town of Ask which gets its name from the 2000 year old estate which sits atop of the valley, which according to legend is full of ghosts who carry their heads under their arm. Locals call the estate “The Castle” due to the shape of the building and its characteristic 22 metre tower. The mansion is probably amongst the oldest in the kingdom and has been depicted in many Norwegian sagas; it has also been home to Viking chiefs, General Majors and artists. If you think that if you buy a haunted house you can demand a price reduction afterwards you can forget it! This case has already been heard in a Norwegian Court; in 2012 a Judge ruled that a price reduction cannot be demanded after purchasing a “haunted house”.
