Guided tour of the cultural-historical Børkjenes Gard

Experience history firsthand on a tour with owners Jarle and Marit at Børkjenes Farm in Hamrabø, one of the oldest and best-preserved farms in Suldal!

 

Børkjenes Farm is idyllically situated in Hamrabø with its scenic surroundings and distinctive mountain farm environment. The farm stretches from 280 to 1350 meters above sea level, from the farmstead all the way up to the mountains, and has a total of 40 buildings. These include the main house, retirement house, barn, sheep house, hen house, storehouse, mill house, grain drying house, cable car house, cart shed with wood storage, smokehouse, smithy, and sawmill. Most of the buildings are from the 19th century, but several buildings and stories also date back further in time.

The farm was awarded the Olavsrosa (Olav's Rose) in 2023, a quality mark for unique experiences rooted in Norwegian cultural heritage. They also received Suldal municipality's building preservation award in 2018 for their work in safeguarding the architectural heritage at Børkjenes through their many small and large restoration projects.

You can find Børkjenes Farm by turning off towards Hamrabø on the road between Sand and Nesflaten, in the middle of Suldalsvatnet (Lake Suldal), along RV13.
