About
Get to know the Nobel laureate Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson
Due to the Covid-19 situation the home of Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson is unfortunately closed this summer.
The well known and beautiful farm Aulestad is located just a short drive north of Lillehammer. At the top of the birch alley you will find the grand barn in which you can visit a new exhibition on Bjørnson’s life and literary works.
Beautiful garden
The beautiful garden, the farmyard and the park invites to magnificent experiences, a breathtaking view and silent thoughts.
Several activities
The children can play and go for a discovery tour in the garden. Inside the wagon shed you will find Bjørnson’s famous wagons.
Our knowledgeable hosts will tell stories about Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and his life at Aulestad.
Due to the Covid-19 situation the home is unfortunately closed this summer. This also applies for the cafeteria, but you are welcome to visit the exhibitions and the garden.
