Rural Buildings (Vefsn Museum)

Arctic Highway


Northeast of the centre and part of the Vefsn Museum, the rural building collection features 12 farmhouses, shops and the like from the 18th and 19th centuries, which you can view from the exterior. It has a pamphlet guide in English. Adjacent is the Dolstad Kirke (1735), built on the site of a medieval church dedicated to St Michael.
