About Bjerkebæk
For Sigrid Undset, Bjerkebæk was a dream come true. A hundred years later, the two log houses offer a lush and captivating encounter with the Nobel Prize-winning author.
Undset cherished Bjerkebæk, pouring her artistic soul into creating an inspiring home for herself and her children. The interior and surroundings evoke the medieval settings that play such a central role in her writing. Through the houses, the garden, and the carefully chosen objects that filled her home, Undset’s strong personality comes to life. This distinctive character makes Bjerkebæk a unique, intimate, and vivid encounter with the author—as a mother, Catholic, gardener, writer, and outspoken debater.
