Prestfoss

The landscape around Prestfoss is a wooded river valley in the Buskerud interior, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and local economy. The small administrative centre of Sigdal stands beside the Simoa, amid farms and extensive forest. Cultural associations run deep here: Lauvlia, the former home of illustrator and painter Theodor Kittelsen, lies near Prestfoss and is now a museum. Kittelsen drew lasting inspiration from Norwegian folklore, including trolls, and his work holds an important place in Norway’s visual culture.
