Description

Hadsel Rectory had a magnificent garden in the 1920s and 1930s – and it is still possible to see the contours of the garden and outdoor area as it was a hundred years ago. Especially in spring, remnants of old paths and a duck pond can be discerned. Sigvard Nielsen was the dean here from 1917 until his death in 1937, and he created the garden with his wife Marie. The garden was large and designed in the English landscape style with winding paths, a duck pond, a dovecote, a turkey house, a garden house, and a leafy arbor. There were trees, shrubs, and summer flowers, but mostly perennials. The large collection of auriculas was widely known. Today, the large trees and a fantastic spring bulb bloom are the easiest to spot.
