Bjølstad Farm, Heritage farm in Heidal, Sel Municipality, Norway

Located in the Heidal valley along the Sjoa river, Bjølstad Farm spans 100 hectares of cultivated land and 3000 hectares of forest.

First documented in written records from 1270, the farm developed into a settlement with 26 leased properties and 700 buildings by 1680.

Nine buildings at Bjølstad Farm received protection under the Cultural Heritage Act of 1920, preserving traditional Norwegian agricultural architecture.

The farm remains private property and continues agricultural operations under the management of the Bratt family, who have owned it since the 1430s.

The property contains the Bjølstad Chapel from 1531, which features doorposts with Urnes Style carvings from an earlier stave church.
