Ostfold
Eidsberg Vicarage
The parsonage became known through parish priest Jacob Nicolai Wilse (1736–1801), who was a prominent Enlightenment clergyman in Spydeberg and Eidsberg around 1780. In addition to being a parish priest and professor of theology, he was an important travel writer and topographer. He was the first to describe the relationship between meteorology and topography, which later became known as climatology.

Eidsvoll Vicarage
Eidsvoll vicarage and its surroundings are of great heritage value, but the large main building from 1720, where the Wergeland family lived, burned down in 1877. During an inspection of the residence in 1984, the proposed preservation order concerning the building was abandoned. The Directorate for Cultural Heritage has proposed to the municipality that the vicarage grounds and their surroundings be zoned as a special conservation area under the Planning and Building Act.

Evje Parsonage
The main building at Evje Parsonage is situated on a rise in the landscape, 150 metres from Evje Church. The main building was constructed in 1843–44 according to the Ministry of Church Affairs’ standard drawings for parsonages, which Jacob Sverdrup and palace architect Linstow had prepared ten years earlier. The parsonage is a single-storey building with a half-hipped roof. It is a log building with rooms on either side of a central hallway running through the building. At the front, the parsonage had a large fruit garden. Today, the interior of the main building has been modernised.

Fet Vicarage

Much of the original Swiss character is still present, but externally, the façade design and entrance area have been simplified. Allstad carried out extensive renovations to both the main building and the farm manager’s residence in 2024–2025.
