The story of Hønse-Lovisas house
The house was built in 1800 as a sawmiller's house, and is named after Hønse-Lovisa, a brave and warm female character from Oskar Braaten's books. The inspiration for the character came from the author's childhood in the area, but it is unknown whether the person Hønse-Lovisa actually existed. What is certain is that she has never lived in the little red house that bares her name.
