Haa gamle prestegard

Haa gamle prestegard is a former 17th-century vicarage that now operates as an art center with multiple exhibition spaces in traditional buildings. The site hosts rotating exhibitions featuring contemporary art from national and international artists.

The building was constructed in 1637 as a vicarage and served that purpose until 1919. It then became an agricultural property before eventually being converted to an arts venue.

The site served as a religious center for the community for centuries, a role reflected in its architecture and name. Visitors today experience both local heritage and contemporary artistic expression side by side here.

The site is best visited on weekdays or weekends with limited availability outside summer months. Visitors should note that the center operates with restricted hours and focuses on rotating exhibitions.

The site manages artistic programming at the nearby Obrestad lighthouse, where works are displayed both inside the structure and across the surrounding coastal landscape. This partnership extends the art space beyond the buildings into the natural environment.
