Havrå or Havråtunet is a cluster of farms along the southern shore of the island of Osterøy in Osterøy municipality, Hordaland county, Norway. Havrå is one of the very last and best preserved of the common farm clusters on 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 the national road network until late in the 1960s.

Havrå is situated on very steep terrain on the south side of the island of Osterøy, along the Sørfjorden. The farm area is shaped in a typical fashion for the steep terrain along the Western Norwegian fjords. It can be clearly seen from both the railway (Bergensbanen) and the highway that goes between the cities of Bergen and Oslo.

Map indicating Havrå

Many of the buildings at Havrå are characteristic to the inner coastal district between Bergen and the Sognefjorden; the combination of dry masonry and juniper cladding on barn façades that are exposed to rain and wind.

Name

The name, with various spellings, dates back as far as 1303. In the oldest sources the name is written Havra (possibly representing Havrá). From the 16th century the official language became Danish, and the name was often spelled (with many variations) Havre.[2] The name was finally decided to be Havrå 7 May 2001 after a complaint case arose from some of the landowners which still use "Havre" as their name, and were confused that the farm name would be altered into a more Norwegian typing [3].

Media

In 1949-1950, Brita and Ivar Skre made a film called Havretunet about life at Havrå. It was released in 1952. Brita also published a book on the same subject, with more material from later years. The farm has been studied by both local, regional and international students in both history and nature science.
