Agatunet
A well-preserved medieval clustered farmstead on the western shore of Sørfjorden, with more than 30 wooden houses packed together, showing the ancient settlement form of western Norway.
Agatunet is one of the best-preserved clustered farmsteads in Norway, with about 30 wooden and stone buildings gathered around a central courtyard. The oldest, the Court House, dates back to the 13th century. It is now a branch of the Hardanger Folk Museum, and in summer guided tours explain farm life and legal history. Admission is about 100 NOK. It sits beside Route 550 on the way from Odda to Utne, about 35 minutes' drive from Odda, on a narrow, winding road.
