Hole Parsonage

Hommedal Parsonage, Landvik
The farm has been used as a parsonage for as long as we have written sources. The priest Aasulv Gunnarson, in 1376, lived at "Homadali". The name of the parsonage became the name of the parish.

Jevnaker Parsonage
Jevnaker parsonage is located directly east of the church and on the other side of E16. Together with the other buildings on the parsonage grounds, the property forms a highly symbolic setting with the church and churchyard, as well as cultural heritage monuments from prehistoric times.

Klæbu Vicarage
The main building was erected between 1838 and 1840, based on the model of the ideal vicarage designs that Sverdrup/Linstow had drawn up a few years earlier. The building is a large, two-storey log structure with a hipped roof. The symmetrical façade of the main building dates from an extension added after 1921; between 1897 and 1919, architect G. Arentz drew up several proposals for Klæbu Vicarage.

Kolvereid Vicarage
Kolvereid Vicarage was designed by Georg Arentz and built in 1914. Arentz was responsible for the plans of several of the Norwegian Church Endowment Fund's vicarages built between 1905 and 1921, including Selbu and Meldal. For Selbu Vicarage, which was built later that year, Arentz used the same Art Nouveau drawings as for Kolvereid.

Kvam Vicarage, Vikøy
Vikøy Vicarage in Kvam municipality in Norheimsund is mentioned as a vicarage in the 14th century, but both as a church site and a vicarage, Vikøy is older. Vikøy is one of the few official residences without a dominant main building in the official-residence style, as was customary among civil servants in the 18th century.

Lærdal Vicarage, Tønjum
In ancient times, the vicarage was located on the north side of the Lærdal River, and the Tønjum farm probably became a vicarage as early as the beginning of the 17th century. The old King's Road ran along the west side of the old King's Road. The main building at the vicarage was built around 1826 in the Rococo style, but was subsequently remodelled around 1900 in the Swiss chalet style. Several original building details have been preserved.

Leksvik Parsonage, Little Røstad
Leksvik Parsonage at Lille Røstad is the third in the succession of parsonages known to have belonged to Leksvik Church, which was built in 1667. The main building was erected in 1890 by the parish priest Lars Johansen Wormdahl, who was both the architect and financially responsible for the construction. Beforehand, he had the old parsonage demolished; it had stood there since the church’s time in the 1680s.
