Gol Wooden Church
Gol Stave Church is a medieval timber church built around 1200, though dendrochronological analysis reveals parts of it date back to 1157, with further construction after 1216. Owned by the Norwegian Crown and managed as a museum, this wooden church stands as the centrepiece of the site. What to see here includes the intricate timber construction techniques and well-preserved medieval architecture that made stave churches distinctive to Scandinavia. It remains one of Norway's most important ecclesiastical monuments from the medieval period.
Rauland House
Raulandstua, originally from Uvdal in Numedal, dates from no later than 1238, making it the world's oldest inhabited wooden dwelling. This open-hearth house features a distinctive layout with an entrance hall, a small chamber, and a main living space. The characteristically high ceilings were designed to allow smoke from the central hearth to accumulate above head height, a clever solution typical of medieval Scandinavian domestic architecture. What to see here offers genuine insight into medieval Norwegian domestic life and building techniques.
Báiki – Sámi Cultural Centre
Báiki is a dedicated Sámi cultural space within the open-air museum at Norsk Folkemuseum. The name reflects a sense of belonging and welcome for this indigenous people. Visitors can explore the history, politics, customs and way of life of the Sámi through exhibits and displays. It's an informative visit for those wanting to understand more about Sámi heritage and contemporary issues affecting the community.
The Artisan Crafts Patio
The Living Crafts Yard is a working craft space located in the Old Town section of Norsk Folkemuseum, where you can watch and purchase pieces from three traditional artisans: a potter, a silversmith and a weaver. It's a genuine demonstration of heritage craftsmanship rather than a museum display—the craftspeople are actively producing their work on site, giving visitors an authentic glimpse into traditional Norwegian trades.
Trøndelag Farm (1940s–1950s)
Trøndelag Farm recreates life on a 1950s Norwegian smallholding through the fictional Haug family's home. Set in 1959, it illustrates how modernisation reached the countryside, with gas cookers, central heating, electric lighting and washing machines. The site comprises several buildings relocated from actual Trøndelag farms and arranged to form a typical period farmyard square. Visitors can see what to expect on a working Norwegian farm during this transformative era.
