WHERE YOUR HISTORY IS CREATED

De Historiske – historic hotels & restaurants – is a unique membership organisation con t ain i ng many of Norway’s most charming hotels and restaurants. A very definite perception of the responsibilities of the proprietor is required to qualify, with the relating of history forming the setting for the guests’ own overnight stay and gastronomic experience. Our aim is to use the past as a backdrop for our guests, to enable them to create their own history based on experiences. It is our hope that these narrations may continue to live in the memories of our guests long after their return home.

Although the members of De Historiske each have their own distinctive character, you will find that they have features in common: a warm welcome, good service, a friendly atmosphere and high quality in every respect. The quality standards that the group has in common ensure a generally high standard in the group, and our values of “hospitable”, “personal” and “quality conscious” shall aid us in achieving our shared vision: Take your story home.

Welcome!

A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE IN HISTORIC SURROUNDINGS!

De Historiske historic hotels & restaurants are visible evidence of our past. At the same time, they are evidence that the past continues to live in the present. We want to offer our guests experiences against the backdrop of our history, so that they in turn have their own stories to recount in the future. Thus you create your own history. The members of De Historiske are brimming with experiences, both inside and outside. Here are some examples:

Outdoor activities

Play a round or two of golf, try your luck at angling, go hunting or horse riding, play a little tennis, take a dip in the pool, feel the wind in your sails, go downhill skiing, soak up the landscape from a horse and carriage, or go glacier walking. All these activities and more are available in the vicinity of De Historiske.

A romantic excursion, or time for yourself!

Leave the hustle and bustle, and enjoy a little time with your loved one. Our luxury settings or delightful wellbeing centres will undoubtedly spoil you and revitalize you to cope with a hectic everyday life.

Delicious food and wines

Our members offer some of the best available in the choice of food and wines. You are served in a style that transforms your meal into a feast. Dinner is served!

Our multi-faceted culture

A multitude of cultural experiences await you both at the De Historiske and in their surroundings. If you are interested in cultural history, pictorial art, arts and crafts, architecture, music or interior decorating, a tour of our member hotels is an experience in itself. If you want to go to museums, theatres or exhibitions, or to enjoy the landscape, whether natural or cultural, you will find just about all you want within a short distance of our members.

HISTORIC HOTELS

Our hotels are not “ordinary” hotels. They are landed estates, country houses, manors, large and small timber-built hotels in pseudo-Swiss and Jugend (Art Nouveau) style, old coaching inns and many more historic buildings that have been transformed into beautiful, small, romantic hotels. This, and the passion we feel about our role as hosts, is what primarily characterises De Historiske!

A stay at one of our hotels is above all about giving you a warm, personal and welcoming experience in an atmosphere of real quality where the focus is always on the guest. We offer fine cuisine based on the very best ingredients, vintage wines from our wine cellars, original artworks on the walls, cultural experiences of the highest quality, interiors and decorations based on long traditions, first-class service and comfort, exciting history, a romantic

atmosphere, peace and quiet, spa treatments, golf and much, much more. Our hotels represent much more than a comfortable bed and a good meal: first and foremost we represent a rich diversity of experiences and ac tivities, both indoors and outdoors. Your challenge is to choose something you don’t want to miss! No m atter what you choose, we will always do our best to make you feel that this is “a good place to be”.

Welcome!

Brosundet offers a different experience. As an intimate, family-owned hotel, our watchful hosts will take care of every single guest. We believe in creating experiences that satisfy all senses, paying attention to what is seen, heard, smelled, tasted, and felt. From the delicate interior design, stunning artwork and antique beams, to the fresh local seafood, Brosundet is one of the locals’ favorite spots in town. The preservation of the original building structure is very important to us, as they held significance to the fishery in the small town of Ålesund. As soon as you enter the hotel you will find inspirational design combined with an authentic story.

Energihotellet is a design hotel situated in the small village of Nesflaten along RV13 (highway 13), midway between Trolltunga and Preikestolen. The hotel was designed in the 1960s by the renowned architect Geir Grung and built as part of Norsk Hydro’s power plant, Røldal-Suldal Kraft. The hotel has many original features such as our gilded fireplace and collection of lounge chairs by Sven Ivar Dysthe. The functionalist-brutalist architecture challenges our preconceptions of the building style we would expect to see in a small village in Western Norway. Energihotellet is a family-run hotel where local food, industrial history, architecture and culture take centre stage, with Suldalsvatnet lake and the surrounding mountains as a backdrop.

Kviknes Hotel

The tradition of hospitality at Balholm stretches back to 1752. The Kvikne family, who own the hotel, took over in 1877, marking the start of fast-paced development, which continues to this day. The hotel was built in the Swiss chalet style and the original character of the place has been left unchanged despite several new buildings, rebuildings and extensions. Kviknes is a modern hotel with soul and atmosphere, and is one of the most traditional hotels in Norway. The hotel has 190 rooms: 25 rooms in the historic Swiss chalet-style building and 165 in the modern building from the 1960s (Late modernism). The hotel has a long list of prominent guests and has amassed a collection of works of art and treasures that adorn the hotel and contribute to its unique style.

Lillesand Hotel Norge

The story of Lillesand Hotel begins in 1837 when the Irish rebel Robert Gonsalvo Major fled his homeland and settled in Lillesand. He built a bark mill and tannery, in which the oldest part of the hotel has its origins. The hotel first opened in 1873, when Lillesand experienced its glory days as a shipping town. Since then the hotel has had many owners, and is currently owned and run by local girl Beate Holm Töpfer and her German husband Wolfgang Töpfer under the name Hotel Norge. The hotel boasts a traditional atmosphere and style, but guests can also enjoy all the comforts you expect of a modern hotel. The rooms are all individual in style, and comfortable furniture in subdued colourways adds to the easy, relaxed mood.

The site has been included because of the region’s industrial history, based around the establishment and development of Norsk Hydro’s power stations, factories, local amenities and transport systems – dating from 1905. The company’s founder, Sam Eyde, had the residence for entertaining built at Rjukan in 1908. Popularly known as ‘Admini’, the building was also his first office in Rjukan. A stay here gives guests chance to experience the atmosphere of the inner chambers, in surroundings designed to inspire sound decision making in a company that became a world leader in its field.

Sundvolden Hotel

As far back as 1648, it is known with certainty that people stayed at Sundvolden. At the time, a woman named Marthe ran a small guest house at Sundvolden between Steinsfjorden and Tyrifjorden, and ferried travellers across the strait. Arne Laeskogen, Tord’s father, bought the hotel in 1965. Back then the hotel was run-down and old, but Arne loved it nonetheless. He married Bjørg Moe from Røyse in 1966, and they started running the hotel together. The collaboration worked well, and from running a hotel with 20 beds and a sofa, the hotel now has 525 beds and can serve 800 guests at once. Today, Sundvolden Hotel is focused on sustainability, local ingredients, home-cooked food and premium service. Our vision is loved by our guests and admired by our competitors.

Søstrene Storaas hotell

The Storaas Sisters’ hotel is situated on the property of Moen Farm, a small farm built during the 1750s. Today the farm hosts a beautiful garden with herbs and vegetables as well as free range pigs and sheep all through summer, and a high-tech hydroponics plant that provides the hotel with fresh ingredients all year round. At the hotel, you can experience our unique family history. It all started when we inherited a crocodile – which it turned out had eaten our great-great-grandfather’s dog! Our great-great-grandfather also had eight daughters with three different women, from three different continents during the beginning of the 1900s. This led us to collect multiple exciting family stories from all over the world! Today, these stories inspire everything we do.

It started, like any good love story, with a bucket of fish in a dogyard. Johnny Trasti came by to deliver the fish to feed Trine Lyrek’s huskies and invited himself in for a cup of coffee. The rest is history. Two creative souls found each other and built a family based on each of their passions; food and dogsledding. Johnny is a trained chef with more than 30 years of experience, who has won national recognition. He moved back from Oslo to Alta to challenge himself as a chef and to use the amazing ingredients that you can only find in the very north. Trine, on the other hand, found her passion through a love for nature and a discovery that there is no better way to experience it than from the dogsled. This is a passion that Trine’s daughter, Hanna Lyrek, who is also an important part of Trasti and Trine, inherited and is carrying on both through guiding and competitive dogmushing.

Boen Gård

Situated a few kilometers from the coast of Southern Norway, you find the elegant and quaint Boen Gård. The estate was closed to the public until it opened its doors in 2012.

Today, Boen Gård appears just as splendid as in its former glory days. The buildings, the park, and the outdoor areas have been restored. The main house boasts a new restaurant kitchen, while the interior has been remodeled in line with its original style, including furniture and art.

Herangtunet is a boutique hotel within a historical open-air museum located on a wooded hill by the Heggefjord. Imagine Lillehammer’s Maihaugen open-air museum in miniature, at the foot of the Jotunheimen mountains. As at Maihaugen, the buildings here have been collected by people passionate about preserving the cultural heritage of the area. Our hotel lies at the heart of the collection of buildings, and is built in the traditional style of the Valdres region. The concept of the ‘boutique hotel’ emerged in London and New York in the 1980s, as an alternative to the large, impersonal hotel chains. Today, hotels of this nature are found all over the world, with the key elements being a personal atmosphere and a small number of rooms of high-quality design. The owners of Herangtunet meet these criteria 100%.

Høyevarde lighthouse was constructed in 1700 and has long been an important lighthouse in the Karmsund strait, previously known as ‘Nordvegen’ – the north passage. In 1700 Heinrich Petersen Ysted was granted a royal licence to operate the lighthouse at Høyevarde. Høyevarde lighthouse is located in approx. 6 hectares of virgin landscape; a hidden, unspoiled treasure within the Hydro facility on Karmøy. Høyevarde offers comfortable guest rooms, a spectacular meeting room, an elegant dining room, attractive gardens and – last but not least – peace and tranquillity.

In 1994 however, Eli Laupstad and Jan Oddvar Omdal took the initiative to start the Krambu Café, an idealistic voluntary project to draw attention to this unique location. That same year, the site was protected by the Directorate for Cultural Heritage in Norway.

HISTORIC RESTAURANTS

Norwegian food traditions are deeply rooted in Norwegian culture, to this very day. The challenge is to find these gastronomic experiences outside the Norwegian home. Accordingly, we offer a concept designed to highlight historic restaurants in Norway.

The Historic Restaurants group is constantly increasing its membership. See www.dehistoriske.com for updates on new members.

How will our guests benefit?

First and foremost, through access to information about historical restaurants in a town or area that you may not be familiar with. The hotel you are staying in will help you book a table at a historical restaurant, and guests living at a Historical Hotel will be given priority. It will be reassuring to know that

the restaurant radiates an atmosphere of “a good place to be”, and sets a high standard in terms of service and quality. Our main objective is to fulfil your expectations that the meal should be an experience. Accordingly, the Historic Restaurants are bent on providing you with a unique food and wine experience provided by an enthusiastic staff possessing sound gastronomic knowledge. Our intention is to leave you with such a deep impression that you spread the word of your enjoyment to a wider audience.

In 1855 local farmers established the distillery Atlungstad Brenneri. They started an industrial adventure producing potato spirits, aquavit, cognac and church wine. The industrial production lasted until 2008 when the restoration to rescue the distillery as a working industrial heritage started. Atlungstad Brenneri is the oldest working distillery in Norway, still producing potato spirits and aquavit. In 2019 the distillery was preserved as a technical and industrial heritage building, to present the story of the Norwegian distilleries and aquavit. A visit to Atlungstad Brenneri is an experience using all senses, and a trip through the Norwegian food and beverage culture. The distillery has rooms for meetings, events and social gatherings with a maximum capacity of 110 people. We also have an à la carte restaurant, serving food and drinks from the region.

Cloe Totland and Eric Saudan with staff

In 1927, Oslo architect Lars Backer won the competition to design the new Ekebergrestauranten. The original restaurant was built as early as 1916, by Tiedemanns tobacco factory. Two years after the competition, in 1929, one of Europe’s foremost buildings in the functionalist style was complete, to the delight of all the people of Oslo. Today it is a listed building, and any renovation work is based on the idea of cherishing the classic style but modern-sing it for a new age. Towards the end of the 1990s, Ekebergrestauranten was closed and left to deteriorate, until Christian Ringnes and Eiendomsspar bought the site and announced a large-scale investment. Together with restaurateur Bjørn Tore Furset, they have now created a modern building that still retains all its classic features.

In 1865, consul Thomas Heftye bought the land around today’s Frognerseter, and in 1884 he opened an open-air museum with five buildings that he brought in from different parts of the country. Kristiania municipality bought the site from Heftye’s widow in 1889. The municipality immediately started building Frognerseteren, and in 1891 the oldest part of the house was finished. The place served as a tourist lounge, the first in the capital.

Gamleposten 5444

The tiny island of Espevær has no cars and is home to 85 people, beautiful buildings and well-kept gardens. Fishing brought prosperity and the restored buildings bear witness to past glory. Gamleposten 5444 is a unique restaurant in an idyllic farming hamlet dating back to 1800–1868. Sjurina Mehus lost her husband to the sea in 1919, so converted her farm into a post office and medicine outlet to feed her children. The world arrived in Sjurina’s home through letters, newspapers and parcels. The hamlet has now been fully restored by siblings Torstein, Rollaug and Silje, and re-opened as a restaurant. The vision behind Gamleposten is to serve guests according to local traditions and flavours, history and with an authentic love for food. We look forward to welcoming you as our guests!

DE HISTORISKE IS HELPING TO MAKE TOURISM MORE SUSTAINABLE!

For generations, many of De Historiske’s member hotels and restaurants have sought to offer their guests a flavour of Norway’s history – ideally with local ingredients, cultural history and a distinctive style of hospitality. For our members to deliver on this, Norway’s brand as a tourism destination must nurture the country’s unique natural and cultural values. This is why cooperation in the tourism industry is important, and De Historiske has contributed to and is a signatory to the “Roadmap for Norway’s tourism industry”. The industry holds enormous potential for low-emission solutions, is labour intensive, touches on many economic sectors along the value chain, and can nurture Norway’s natural and cultural capital by shifting towards greener, cross-sectoral and experience-based hospitality. This is important for De Historiske, and our

hotels and restaurants enable our guests to experience architectural styles, historical buildings and local food, and enjoy friendly, genuine and innovative hospitality.

De Historiske’s members are representatives of both authentic experiences and genuine Norwegian traditions, and take pride in nurturing nature, culture and the environment of their home town. Our members work continuously to reduce food waste, develop menus in close collaboration with local producers and suppliers, exploit geothermal and seawater heating, offer their guests bikes to explore the local area, etc. This is sustainability in practice, and De Historiske has also been certified by Miljøfyrtårn – the Eco-lighthouse foundation – ensuring continuous development in the best interests of the environment.

MEMBERS OF SPECIAL EVENTS

De Historiske offers meeting and function rooms that are perfect for meetings, conferences, kick-offs, all types of company events, weddings and other private parties.

Our meeting and event venues are authentic and offer a warm atmosphere, with hosts who strive to provide friendly and personal service. With a lot of history embedded in the walls, our members convey various eras from our Norwegian cultural heritage and offer venues accommodating 10 to 800 guests.

De Historiske has many hidden gems along fjords and mountains that can also be yours for a day or two. By

renting your own hotel for an event or conference, you will have both space and time for pleasant gatherings and meaningful conversations - completely undisturbed.

Members can tailor experiences to suit guests, with the icing cake being the gastronomic delights based on outstanding culinary art and high-quality local ingredients. Explore some of our event venues - where history comes alive for our guests!
