This farmstead is recreated at the open-air museum Maihaugen, in Lillehammer, Norway. It consists of 27 buildings, and 19 of them come from the same place: Nedre Bjørnstad in Lalm, Vågå (the other buildings replace the ones that did not make the move, so the layout tries to stay true to the original). The building in the middle, the one with the windows, is Andersstua (Ander's cottage - a somewhat misleading name, because it was build by a man called Kristen Pålssøn). The house dates to 1777. The house just to the left of it, is Årestua (the open hearth cottage), which dates to 1665. That building is actually not from the original Bjørnstad, but from Vik i Kvam. The building to the far left is a cook-house and the one to the far right a loft.
