Solnør Farm and Golf Course

We’re now passing Solnør Farm, a stately manor with roots dating back to the 18th century. The estate has long played an important role in the region, both as an agricultural property and as a gathering place for culture and social life. Famous figures such as Henrik Ibsen and Ivar Aasen are said to have visited here. It is often said that Aasen’s stay at Solnør helped strengthen the idea of reviving the Norwegian language. Perhaps it was here that some of the thoughts behind a written language for ordinary people began to take shape. Today, the estate is surrounded by green fields and the 18-hole Solnør Golf Course, considered one of the most beautiful in the country. Here, nature, leisure, and cultural history come together in beautiful surroundings overlooking fjord and mountains.
