The Lagmannsstova: A Glimpse into the Past
One of the highlights of Agatunet is the Lagmannsstova, a unique timber house dating back to 1220. This building is the oldest wooden structure in the country that has been preserved in its original location. It stands on high basement walls and was built with timber from Varaldsøy. The Lagmannsstova once housed the lawman, knight, and national councilor Sigurd Brynjolfsson, one of the advisors to King Eirik Magnusson.
