Sunset from Troldhaugen a beautiful day i December 2007.

Troldhaugen was the home of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. His and his wife`s ashes rest inside a mountain tomb near the house. The house itself and its surroundings are now a Grieg museum. Edvard Grieg himself called the building "my most important composition," although the building was designed by his cousin, the architect Schak Bull. The name comes from Trold meaning "Troll" and Haug meaning "small hill". In 1985 a small concert hall was built in the valley. Below the concert hall lies Grieg`s small Composer`s Hut.
