Tour of cultural-historical Børkjenes Gard

Get close to the history on a tour with the owners Jarle and Marit at Børkjenes Gard estate in Hamrabø, one of the oldest and best-preserved farms in Suldal!

‍

Børkjenes Gard is idyllically located in Hamrabøheia with its scenic surroundings and distinctive mountain garden environment. In total, the farm stretches over 8,653 decres from the yard all the way to the mountains and has a total of 40 houses, including the main house, barn, sheep house, hen house, storehouse, mill house, drying house for grain, cable car house, cart house with annex, firehouse, forge, and sawmill. Most of the houses date back to the 18th and 19th centuries, but some structures and stories also extend even further into the past.

The Garden was awarded the Olavsrosa award in 2023, a quality mark for unique experiences rooted in Norwegian cultural heritage. They also received the Suldal municipality's building conservation award in 2018 for their work in securing the building heritage at Børkjenes through their many small and large restoration projects.

You can find Børkjenes Gard by turning off towards Hamrabø on the road between Nesflaten and Suldalsosen along RV13.
