Vigatunet is a historical farm situated in the Hjelmeland municipality. It operates as a department under the Ryfylkemuseet, offering visitors a glimpse into the region's agricultural past. The farm's location provides a serene and picturesque setting that enhances the overall experience.
One of the key attractions at Vigatunet is the smokehouse in the main building. This structure is believed to have been built in the 1600s, making it one of the oldest buildings on the farm. Visitors can explore this historical building and gain insights into the architectural styles and living conditions of the time.
In 1990, a historical fruit garden was established within the old garden walls of Vigatunet. This garden was later expanded and now houses over 100 trees. These trees represent traditional apple, pear, and plum varieties from the Ryfylke region. This garden not only adds to the beauty of the farm but also serves as a living testament to the region's fruit cultivation history.
