Main Location and Open-Air Museum
The main location of the Vest-Telemark Museum is in Eidsborg, within the municipality of Tokke. Here, visitors can explore a large open-air museum, which was formerly known as the Lårdal rural museum. This museum is conveniently located near the Eidsborg stave church, allowing visitors to explore both sites during their visit.
Oldest Secular Wooden Building
One of the highlights of the open-air museum at the Vest-Telemark Museum is the Vindlausloftet. This structure is the country's oldest secular wooden building, dating back to around the year 1170. This provides a unique opportunity for visitors to step back in time and experience a piece of Norway's architectural history.
