Astruptunet

The property contains multiple historic buildings and gardens situated on a steep hillside overlooking Lake Jølstravatnet in western Norway.

Nikolai Astrup and his wife Engel purchased this farmstead in 1912, transforming the buildings into their residence and art studio until his death in 1928.

The museum displays a collection of Nikolai Astrup's paintings and woodblock prints alongside Engel Astrup's textile works in the converted barn gallery.

Following a 46 million NOK renovation, Astruptunet will reopen in June 2024 with new facilities, including a café serving traditional Norwegian refreshments.

The gardens feature over 2,400 plants selected by the Astrups for both their visual appeal and food production capabilities, inspiring many of Nikolai's artworks.
