"Hadsel prestegård" (2 of 7)
Description
The two-story main house is an L-shaped building with three entrances facing the courtyard side. The main entrance to the three rooms, which are aligned in a row facing south and the garden, is at the corner. The kitchen entrance and the entrance to the old rectory's office are on the other long wall.
The main house is built of log timber, which is clad both outside and inside. Externally, it is painted red with vertical siding, and all the windows, which are of a small-paned type, are painted white. The roof is covered with slate tiles. The building has a deliberately classical expression, nationally inspired, which was not uncommon around 1920. Dean Sigvald Nielsen (1871–1937) arrived in Hadsel in 1917, and work on the new building then commenced. The dean's brother, August Nielsen (1877–1956), was the architect.
