'''Granvin''' is a [[List of former municipalities of Norway|former municipality]] in the old [[Hordaland]] county, [[Norway]]. The municipality existed from 1891 until its dissolution in 2020 when it merged with [[Voss Municipality]]. The municipality was located in the [[Districts of Norway|traditional district]] of [[Hardanger]]. The [[administrative centre]] of Granvin was the village of [[Eide, Granvin|Eide]], which is also called "Granvin". About half of the residents of the municipality lived in the municipal centre. The rest lived in the rural valley areas surrounding the [[Granvin Fjord]] or the lake [[Granvinsvatnet]] in the central part of the municipality.

Prior to its dissolution in 2020, the {{convert|211|km2|adj=on}} municipality is the 326th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Granvin is the 403rd most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 933. The municipality's [[population density]] is {{convert|4.6|PD/km2}} and its population has decreased by 4.5% over the last decade.<ref name="ssb pop">{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |year=2017 |title=Table: 06913: Population 1 January and population changes during the calendar year (M) |url=https://www.ssb.no/statistikkbanken/selectvarval/Define.asp?subjectcode=&ProductId=&MainTable=Folkemengd1951&nvl=&PLanguage=1&nyTmpVar=true&CMSSubjectArea=befolkning&KortNavnWeb=folkendrhist&StatVariant=&checked=true |access-date=2017-10-24 |language=no}}</ref>

==General information==
[[File:Sykler forbi Espeland på veg til Ulvik.jpg|thumb|left|View of a small road in Granvin]]
[[File:Granvin kyrkje 01.JPG|thumb|left|[[Granvin Church]]]]
The [[Prestegjeld|parish]] of ''Graven'' was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). This new municipality was very large and it included two annexes to the parish: [[Ulvik]] and [[Eidfjord]]. On 1 January 1859, "Ulvik" became the main parish, so that Granvin and Eidfjord became annexes to Ulvik, and the name of municipality was changed accordingly.<ref name="Dag">{{Cite book |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |language=no |isbn=9788253746845}}</ref>

On 1 May 1891, the municipality of Ulvik was divided into three parts by creating two new municipalities. The western annex (population: 1,331) became the new municipality of Granvin and the southeastern annex (population: 1,018) became the new municipality of [[Eidfjord]]. On 1 January 1964, the Lussand-Kvanndal area of [[Kinsarvik (municipality)|Kinsarvik municipality]] (population: 72) was transferred to Granvin.<ref name="Dag" />

On 1 January 2020, the neighboring municipalities of Granvin and [[Voss]] were merged into a new large municipality called ''Voss''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ein Ny Kommune |url=http://vossherad.no/nyevoss/innbyggjar/ein-ny-kommune |access-date=2017-10-24 |language=no}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''[[Granvin (village)|Granvin]]'' farm ({{langx|non|Grǫnvin}}) since the first [[Granvin Church]] was built there. The first element is {{wikt-lang|non|grǫn}} which means "[[spruce]]". The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|vin}} which means "[[meadow]]" or "[[pasture]]". The area is one of the few places in [[Western Norway]] that has spruce forests. 
The name of the parish was spelled as "Graven" before 1858. It was then spelled as "Granvin" from 1858 until 1891. When it became a separate municipality in 1891, the old spelling of "Graven" was used again briefly until 1898. Since 1898 the spelling of "Granvin" has been used.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ud5LAQAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Søndre Bergenhus amt |date=1910 |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |edition=11 |location=Kristiania, Norge |pages=484–486 |language=no |authorlink=Oluf Rygh}}</ref>

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 13 May 1988 and it was in use until 1 January 2020 when the municipality was dissolved. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Vert (heraldry)|Vert]], a fiddle [[Or (heraldry)|Or]] in [[bend sinister]]"'' ({{langx|no|På grøn grunn ei gul fele, skråstilt venstre-høgre}}). This means the arms have a green [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a diagonal [[Hardingfele|hardanger fiddle]] ({{lang|no|Hardingfele}}), a type of Norwegian folk instrument. The fiddle has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[Or (heraldry)|Or]] which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The design was chosen to symbolize the rich [[Music of Norway|folk-music traditions]] in the [[Hardanger]] region and it also symbolizes an active and creative community. The fiddle is a simplified representation of the richly decorated Hardanger fiddles. This fiddle, used to play folk dance music, has two sets or layers of four strings and has a very characteristic sound. The lower set of [[Sympathetic string|sympathetic strings]] is not directly touched by the fiddler, but they vibrate when the other strings are played. The arms were designed by Øyvind Kvamme. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Granvin |access-date=2023-06-22 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Granvin, Hordaland |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-12-34.html |access-date=2023-06-22 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1988-05-13 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LFO/forskrift/1988-05-13-371 |access-date=2023-06-22 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>

===Churches===
The [[Church of Norway]] had one parish ({{lang|no|sokn}}) within the municipality of Granvin. It is part of the [[Hardanger og Voss prosti]] ([[deanery]]) in the [[Diocese of Bjørgvin]].

==Geography==
[[File:Skjervefossen.jpg|thumb|right|View of the Skjervefossen]]
The municipality was situated along both sides of the [[Granvin Fjord]] (a small arm off of the main [[Hardangerfjorden]]) and the valley extending inland from the end of the fjord, in the region of [[Hardanger]]. The large lake [[Granvinsvatnet]] lies right in the center of the valley, just north of the village of [[Eide, Granvin|Eide]]. On both sides of the fjord and valley, there are high mountains. [[Espeland Falls]] is located in the Espelandsdalen valley near the border with Ulvik. The [[Skjervefossen]] waterfall is also located in Granvin.

==Transportation==
[[Norwegian National Road 13]] entered Granvin via the [[Tunsberg Tunnel]] which runs through the high mountains to the northwest. The highway then ran through Granvin before entering the [[Vallavik Tunnel]] which runs through the high mountains to the southeast. The Vallavik Tunnel connects up with the [[Hardanger Bridge]] in Ulvik which crosses the Hardangerfjorden. A car ferry service connects Kvanndal (in southwest Granvin) with the villages of [[Utne]] and [[Kinsarvik]] (in [[Ullensvang]] municipality) on the south side of the Hardangerfjord. From 1935 to 1988, [[Hardanger Line|Hardanger railway line]] ran between Granvin and [[Vossevangen]]. The line was closed in 1988 and the rails were later removed.

==History==
In April 1940, during the [[Norwegian Campaign|German invasion of Norway]] during [[World War II]], there was some fighting between German and Norwegian forces in Granvin. German forces landed in the village of [[Granvin (village)|Granvin]] on 25 April as part of their [[pincer movement]] towards the Norwegian military camps at [[Vossevangen]]. There was fighting at ''Skjervefossen'' for most of that day, until the Norwegian forces retreated late at night to avoid encirclement. Four Norwegian soldiers and at least 30 German soldiers fell in the fighting.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hansteen |first=Wilhelm |title=Operasjonene til lands på Vestlandet og i Hallingdal og Numedal |year=1971 |location=Oslo |pages=170–183 |language=no}}</ref>
