Our Parsonages

Inland

South Odal Parsonage, Strøm

South Odal Parsonage is commonly called Strøm Parsonage. It is situated right by the Glomma River, with Strøm Church as its closest neighbour. Parish priest Erik Christopher Rynning, who was parish priest in South Odal for 60 years, was the builder of both the church and the parsonage. The church's architect was Heinrich Ernst Schirmer. In former times, the connection between the parsonage, dating from 1818, the tenant farm and the church was strong. Today, the three form an important cultural heritage site.

Stange Vicarage, Ottestad

Stange Vicarage in Hedmark lies directly opposite Stange Church, dating from 1250. The vicarage has two listed buildings: a main residence and a storehouse. The main residence is a two-storey log timber building in the civil servant style, and it is believed to have been built by parish priest Poul Wisnæs in the 1760s. The building has a central hallway and a Swiss-style entrance. In 1970–80, the house was restored and its interior upgraded. The storehouse in the courtyard is a rare sight nowadays and was probably built in the 18th century. It has a projecting upper storey, three doors facing the courtyard, and a belfry on the roof ridge.

Nordland

Steigen Vicarage

The vicarage is located at Laskestad in Steigen Municipality, approximately two kilometres from Steigen Church. The monumental main building was erected around 1884. Parish priest Wisløff commissioned its construction. He also established a kitchen garden that became historically significant and had a ripple effect on the spread of garden culture and agriculture in Northern Norway. In 2023, Steigen Rural Museum received the Garden Society’s Garden Culture Award for its work preserving the old garden area.

Vestland

Sveio vicarage

Sveio vicarage is a detached house built in the mid-19th century. The residence has three floors and has been renovated several times by the organisation. The fact that the vicarage has deep roots reaching back to another era is evident from the fact that traces of settlement from the Late Stone Age have been found at Nedrebøen, below the farmyard at the vicarage. Among other things, an axe of the Vespestad type has been found, and test probes show that the site has been intensively cultivated. The residence is located just across the road from Førde Church. It is built of masonry, was erected in 1938 and designed by Torgeir Alvsaker.

The building is characterized by a traditional architectural style with roots dating back to the 19th century. The building underwent extensive renovation in the 1990s and forms the main building on a farmstead. The farmstead gives a unified impression, with the parsonage and tenant farmer’s residence situated around the same courtyard.

Vestfold
