Rygnestadtunet, Open-air museum in Valle Municipality, Norway.
The museum includes traditional farm buildings, water mills, storehouses, and agricultural structures spread across a northern location in the Setesdal region.
The farm site exhibits structures from various periods, including the Rygnestadloftet storehouse constructed by Vonde-Åsmund in 1590 using recycled materials from Nomeland stave church.
The farmhouse contains two main sections, featuring a central fireplace room and a living area that reflects traditional Norwegian domestic arrangements.
The museum complex maintains regular visiting hours, offers guided tours, and provides educational programs about farming practices in the Setesdal valley.
The three-story storehouse, Trihågloptet, demonstrates an unusual construction method where builders worked from top to bottom rather than ground up.
