Holmarka besøksgard

About the museum

Holmarka besøksgard (Holmarka visitor farm) lies in Molde on the smallholding officially called Furuli. The farm was started in 1863, when Knud Hansen Nesje began clearing a smallholding. Farming ended in 1953 after Kristine died, but the hens were kept for longer.

Today the visitor farm is run by Romsdalsmuseet together with the volunteers of Holmarkas venner (Friends of Holmarka). Horses, sheep, rabbits, cats, hens, pheasants, ducks and peacocks live on the farm, and most of the animals roam freely within the fence during the day. The site also has a greenhouse, a kitchen garden and a fruit and berry garden. The farm’s old main house and yard are privately owned and are not part of the visitor farm. The place has around 8,000 to 10,000 visitors a year.
