How about some ice cream and coffee? Drop by at the Minne Cultural Centre, a popular local meeting place. It is located in the heart of Åseral, next to the church, with magnificent views of the village and the lake Øre. Take a relaxing stroll through the unique Apple Garden or negotiate the climbing tower. At Minne, you also find the tourist information, exhibitions and documentary films covering local history, a library and a small café. In the month of July, various events take place. Check the website of Åseral municipality if you need more information. The farm which originally stood on these premises, was built sometime between 1880 and 1890, probably by Jacob Nilsson Berg, local sheriff in the years 1887–1892. The name is derived from "Mynne", interpreted as estuary, perhaps on the spot where the rivers Monn and Logna run into the lake Øre. In addition to being used by the police, with a house for the sheriff and a small detention house, the farm also served as a meteorological station. The farmyard at Minne was in several ways an important part of the village.
