Judging from the building’s layout and detailing Normannhuset (the Normann’s House) or Rødstua (the red House) as it was also called, is the oldest farmhouse in assumed to be dating back to the first half of the 19th century. The ground floor has three sections: entrance and kitchen in the middle with a bedroom and living room on either side. The front door faces the sea and the road. The attic is a sleeping space. The outer walls have red sturdy board on board vertical cladding, and the windows are in Empirestyle. It originally had a birch bark and turf roof.
The author Regine Normann moved into this house in 1939 to live with her relatives at the farmstead where her father grew up. She died the same year and is buried in the graveyard of Skånland Church. An exhibition about her life and work is on display in the museum’s barn.
