Steinhuset, Medieval stone house in Granavollen, Norway.

The stone building spans two floors with thick granite walls, featuring small windows and a cellar designed for storage and protection.

Built around 1200, this structure served as both a residence for clergy members and a defensive fortification during times of conflict.

This medieval structure represents Norwegian architectural traditions through its combination of residential and defensive building elements from that period.

Visitors can explore the building from Friday to Sunday between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM during summer months, with guided tours available.

The structure remains the only preserved medieval stone house located in rural Norway outside of cities and trading centers.
