Welcome to the Finnesloft!The Finnesloft was build around 1295 and one of the oldest secular wooden buildings in Norway. The Finnesloft was used as a banqueting house in the middle ages; business meeting was held as well as celebrations and receptions.
The construction of this house is quite unique; the log construction on the ground floor, and the stave construction on the upper floor. The stave construction, which was used on the churches, had never been seen on any other secular buildings in Norway, and combination of log construction and stave construction is also quite unique that one cannot see on the any other buildings. |
