Troldhaugen consists of the Edvard Grieg Museum, Grieg’s villa, the hut where he composed music and his gravesite
The villa and the concert hall
In the villa’s living room stands Grieg’s Steinway grand piano, which Grieg was given as a silver wedding anniversary present in 1892. Today the instrument is used for private concerts, special occasions and intimate concerts held in connection with Bergen International Festival. The concert hall, Troldsalen, offers concert series in the summer and autumn months, as well as many other concerts and events.
Troldhaugen lies on a promontory overlooking Lake Nordås, in a lush landscape with an exceptionally beautiful view. The villa, designed in the Victorian style by the architect Schak Bull, was built between 1884-1885. Here Edvard Grieg lived and worked every summer from 1885 until his death in 1907. #Bergen #Edvard_Grieg #Edvard_Grieg_Museum #Kunstmuseene #modellato_da_Ascoli_Roberto #Norway #Troldhaugen
