Finnesloftet
A wooden banquet hall dating from the mid-13th century, one of the oldest non-religious wooden buildings in Norway, within walking distance of the town centre.
Finnesloftet is a two-storey medieval log building that served as a storehouse and banqueting hall. Tree-ring dating suggests it was built around 1250, and it is considered one of the oldest surviving secular timber buildings in Norway. The door frames and posts are finely carved with dragon motifs, and it was once the great hall where wealthy farms entertained guests. It is now managed by a heritage preservation society and is open for guided tours in summer. It lies about 1 km west of the town centre, a 15-minute walk away, and can be visited together with Voss Church.
