About
Schnelle Fakten: Wandering through cobbled farmyards and colourful wooden houses feels like stepping into a living village where costumed guides weave everyday crafts and stories into the experience. You can explore over 150 traditional buildings assembled under open skies, and a dramatic stave church offers carved-wood silence that lingers long after you leave.
Highlights: You can wander through more than 160 historic buildings gathered across the open-air park, from a 12th-century Gol stave church to a crimson 19th-century fisherman's cottage whose peat-smoke scent still lingers in the rafters. On select Sundays the staff stage a living 19th-century market with Hardingfele players, brunost and rye cakes for sale, and hands-on workshops where you can try flint-knapping or churning butter while storytellers recite local folk tales.
Insider tips
- Wear waterproof layers and sturdy shoes, the open-air sections are exposed to weather.
- Start with the open-air village and save the indoor exhibitions for later when you need a break.
- Head to the Gol Stave Church and the Bygdøy shoreline for the best photo opportunities, aim for golden hour if possible.
- Avoid midday on summer days when cruise ships dock, early mornings and late afternoons are quieter.
