Stepping onto the farmyard at Nordigard Blessom feels like entering a true Norwegian folk tale—a piece of living history.

Would you like to hear it? Welcome to the real adventure!

Three generations live here together, including four children, and the farm is full of everyday life and authentic rural charm. Among the animals, you’ll find the beautiful and rare Old Norwegian Short Tail sheep (gammalnorsk spelsau), grazing in the lush cultural landscape surrounding the farm. A House with History The main farmhouse dates back to 1779 and has been carefully restored to its original state. That means some things might be a bit different from what you're used to – for example, the doorways are low, so remember to duck! The doors to the rooms are original and cannot be locked, which is part of the historical charm and experience. Personal Hosting We warmly and personally welcome every guest.
