How entire villages lived in just 1 building in remote Far North

My grandfather, Hans Simon Wold, born in 1870 on the island of Senja, immigrated to the United States just before the turn of the century. I love watching stuff like this and if I could do whatever I want, visiting Norway, especially in that area he was born at is on my bucket list. God bless Norway 🇳🇴

This really made me think and reflect on modern times, the changes we are going through and how different life used to be for hundreds of years of our past. In my country, much of this history was lost and forgotten. Good on Norway to keep it alive in people's minds!

Makes sense. You can move around the village without essential bits of your anatomy freezing off.

As a 20 year handcrafted log builder in Alaska, when I visited this Folk Museum I was blown away with the craftsmanship and complexity of the structures, amazing!!

“We lost the knowledge”…..again, a common theme for those who are paying attention.

What makes this guide think that the Last Supper would be weird for a post-Reformational church? Does he know anything about Lutheran theology? The sacraments are central to the Lutheran reformation.

i wish your title was more informative. the entire video wasnt' about that one farm. maybe more like "norway traditional farm villages and homes"

A bunch of the rooms filmed really could have benefited having a single light on...

flu season must have been a nightmare

The old ways in alignment with nature will return.

Yep the farmsteads in West Cornwall where I grew up were bigger than some actual villages.. very busy.

så flink han var da, flott engelsk

Great episode Kirsten! What an unusual array of architecture spanning such an mental amount of time

No wonder Norwegians are so happy. Out in nature. Buildings cabins in the sun in the summer. The sound of birds and kids playing in the background.

We have visited some similar places in Norway.
Realise that these houses are harbouring family’s during cold dark times.
It’s impressive and a bit to learn form. As this way of living is also happening in Mongolië or similar countries.

Must be alot of fucking noises at night

Do you have to mow the roof?

in america we call those apartments😌

Great insights! 😊

I went to a similar museum in Japan. It had examples of every type of traditional country architecture from the far north to the far south. Similarly fascinating.

its not 1652, its I 652

I had no idea that rain in the far north looks as lush and magical as it looks in the tropics.

I've been there back in 2010, it was amazing!

Cool we've a similar place in my city called Fredriksdal with old buildings before, all of them originals, a bit smaller than this place but still cool.

Fredriksdal became an open air museum in 1923 or so

Those building constructions were amazing! I really love the history of Norway.
Thanks very much!
The fiddle player was beautiful and she sounded amazing!!!

How beautiful, buildings with pitched roof's and an earthen insulating cover. I see no reason why these villages would not be practical today, except for the largest landholders. With each villager having their skills brought to bear for themselves and the village?

this is a great destination., reserve a whole day for this visit

Me showing off my Valheim builds

Beautiful!

that guy just gave himself 100 splinters

That is so cool. And the roofs of the houses that are basically growing it's own insulation. Brilliant idea!

I’ve been watching your videos since I was a kid, and I’m 25 now. Crazy how time flies. Thanks for keeping up the interesting content over the last decade and a half

Like an Early Commune. Wow! Great.✌️‼️🩷

Brutal... gotta hear your own kids banging all winter!

I wish he would tell us what the runes say.

Since tar off-gases, it is not safe for use inside of enclosed spaces which will be occupied. It would also be likely to be a fire hazard in itself, although I'm not sure if it may in some manner retard the initial ignition of the wood, inside.

the priest cot as he said is changed to Prescott as a last name, I have.

I feel like I have been here, is this the same place where they have a Christmas market and about 30 mins bus ride from Oslo?

“Me building a compound in rimworld”

I've only ever seen this type of thing at the Ulster Folk Museum. So pleased to learn that other countries have museums that collect buildings too.

So when what you need is produced right around the corner you dont need to transport it huge distances and you dont emit large quantities of CO2 and methane

The Norwegian and the Sweden having an argument? Never😂

That's some Mincraft community right there!

The very fabric of the community gave meaning to people's lives and reinforced accountability, morals, work ethics

Beautiful!!

Thank you!😊
