Havråtunet

Havrå or Havre, sometimes Havretunet or Havråtunet is a country line courtyard in Osterøy municipality and is one of the very last and best preserved of the common country courtyards at the Western coast of Norway. Havrå was the first cultural environment to be protected under section 20 of the Norwegian Cultural Heritage Act. It was not connected to road until late in the 1960s.

The country courtyard is situated in a very steep terrain on the south side of Osterøy and the common country courtyard is shaped in line typical for steep terrain in the Norwegian fjords. Many of the buildings at Havrå are characteristic to the inner coastal district between Bergen and Sognefjorden; the combination of dry masonry and juniper cladding on barn facades exposed to rain and wind.
