===Villa Fridheim=== [[File:Villa Fridheim, Krøderen, 2.jpg|thumb|250 px|Villa Fridheim]] [[File:Krøderbanen - 2006-07-16.jpg|250 px|thumb|NSB type 24b No. 236 at Krøderen]] [[File:Krödsherad IMG 5332 olberg kirke.JPG|thumb|250 px|Olberg Church in Krødsherad]] Villa Fridheim, a manor house which houses a folk museum, is one of Norway's largest timber buildings. The style is representative of [[romantic nationalism]]. The building was erected in 1890-92 as the country house of [[Drammen]] based timber merchant Svend Haug(1832-1891) and his wife Anne Marthea (Thea) Sveaas (1839-1924). The architect was [[Herman Backer|Herman Major Backer]] (1856–1932), whose other commissions included [[Skaugum]] in Asker, Klemetsrud Church in Oslo, [[Sollihøgda Chapel]] in [[Hole, Norway|Hole]] and [[St John's Church, Bergen|St John's Church]] in Bergen.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.artemisia.no/arc/3/omraade/krodsherad/fridheim.html|title= Krødsherad:Villa Fridheim|publisher= arc!/arkitekturhistorie.no|author= Geir Tandberg Steigan|access-date= October 1, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://nbl.snl.no/Herman_Backer |title= Herman Backer|publisher= Norsk biografisk leksikon|author= Åse Moe Torvanger |access-date= October 1, 2017}}</ref> The building functioned as a hotel and boarding house between 1914-60. The building was restored and opened as a folktale museum in the summer of 1986. In 1996 the museum opened a section dedicated to the great collectors of Norwegian fairy tales, [[Peter Christen Asbjørnsen]] and [[Jørgen Moe]] and to noted illustrators [[Theodor Kittelsen]] and [[Christian Skredsvig]].<ref>[http://www.gonorway.no/norway/articles/1566 ''Villa Fridheim'' (Go.Norway)]</ref>
