Holmen gård, Heritage farm in Gjerstad, Norway.

Located in the southern region of Norway, Holmen Gård includes five protected buildings set within a traditional marsh environment near Gjerstad municipality.

The farm was established around 1800 after the division of Trydal farm between two brothers, with Nils constructing a two-story timber dwelling in 1806.

From 1973 to 2011, the farm operated as a national course center for Norwegian folk arts and crafts under Norges Husflidslag organization.

The property now functions as a treatment center offering services for individuals with substance use disorders, providing support to the local community.

The farm features the Bjorvasstua, a 1721 building with decorative motifs from the 1770s, relocated to the property during World War I.
