Fossheim is a stately building located right next to Sandsfossen waterfall in Sand.

The building was constructed in 1936-37 by the local sheriff Rasmus Rasmussen. The house served both as his office and residence and has a cell in the basement. The architect was Arnstein Arneberg (1882-1961), who was highly respected during that time. His work includes Oslo City Hall, Skaugum, and interiors in the UN building. Suldal municipality purchased the building in the 1970s.

The Salmon Studio is located right across the road from Fossheim. The Salmon Studio is open from June to September.
