The real Fairytale

by Davide Dusi

Are you interested in fairytales?....so why don't you visit Villa Fridheim?
The fairytale castle Villa Fridheim is situated on the island Bjørøya in the Krøderfjord (not so far from Oslo, maybe one hour and a half by car).
Villa Fridheim was built from 1890 to 1892 as a holiday residence for timber merchant Svend Haug and his wife Thea. After the death of Svend Haug in 1991, Thea Haug, her five children and their servants lived in the house year round.
Today Villa Fridheim houses a Museum of Fairytales with permanent exhibitions of Norwegian Fairytales. Each summer brings the Fairytale Festival and new art exhibition.
If you are fascinated by fairytales this is the right place to spend your time (Villa Fridheim is open every day from mid-May to mid-October).
A place for “children of all ages”.
