Vøienvolden gård, Heritage farm in Sagene district, Norway
Vøienvolden gård is a farm complex in the Sagene district featuring a main residence, a 38-meter barn, and several auxiliary buildings arranged around a closed courtyard. The layout displays a typical Norwegian farm organization with structures built over different periods.
The farm was originally established before 1629 as a property on Bymarken and took its current form in the late 1700s under merchant Jacob Schøyen. This transformation created an organized farm layout serving agricultural operations.
The buildings show traditional Norwegian farm architecture with curved barn roofs and specific gate designs that reflect rural life from earlier times.
The property at Maridalsveien 120 hosts regular events, markets, and meeting spaces for volunteer organizations throughout the year. Check in advance what activities might be happening during your visit.
The property contains original furnishings from the Udnæs family, who donated it to Fortidsminneforeningen in 1954 along with funds for its upkeep. This gift helped secure its preservation as a living connection to the past.
