In the 9th – 10th In the 19th century, many farms were split off from the Myklabolstad family estate, now called Bjølstad . One of these was Haraldsstaðir - Harald's court. Today there are two Harildstad farms, the neighboring farm Nordre Harildstad (Northern H.) and this one, Søre Harildstad .

In the Norsk Gaardnavne, a register by Oluf Rygh, various spellings of the goods from 1336 to the present are listed. The spellings have been modified by spelling reforms, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries. The farm was called Haraldstad in the 14th and 15th centuries and, after further modifications, was given the current name Harildstad from 1723 . The estate was mentioned in several documents in the Diplomatarium Norvegicum , a collection of sources and documents, for the first time on a parchment from 1336. The spelling was “a Haraldzstaudum” - and means “Auf Haraldstad”.

history

Stable in the outer courtyard, 2012

Harildstad is a medieval estate , but there are traces of earlier settlement. A few years ago one was arrowhead from the Viking era and a pitfall found. The pitfall is believed to date from the transition from the Norwegian Iron Age to the Middle Ages.

A settlement on the farm since the 14th century is considered likely. Harildstad was split off from Bjølstad and there were already two Harildstad farms in the late Middle Ages. A letter from 1449 explicitly reports on Søre Harildstad .

The old land register shows that there was a water-powered saw on Søre Harildstad .

Over the years the farm has had several owners. In 1870 he was sold to Torger Tårud from Nord-Fron . His descendants still own the farm to this day. Since 1980 the land has been leased to the neighboring farms of Krukhaug and later Knutrud .

Yard and buildings

Søre Harildstad originally had the courtyard divided in two. Residential buildings and a food store were arranged around the inner courtyard. The outer courtyard is enclosed by the barn and stable buildings. According to a drawing by Morgenstierne in 1899, there were 14 buildings in the yard. In addition, there were foundations of a goat barn and a wooden shed.

The farm was listed as a historical monument in 1923. According to Gjone's survey drawings, the same buildings were in the courtyard as on Morgenstiernes' plan: six buildings around the inner courtyard and another six around the outer courtyard. In addition to these there was a forge and an eldhus , a house with an open hearth that was used as a bakery, brewery, or laundry. Both were a little further away from the other buildings for fire protection reasons. To date, only five buildings around the courtyard and stable have been preserved. The eldhus has been converted into a store .

All the old buildings in the courtyard were built as log houses at the end of the 18th century and have a peat roof . Engen described the basic shape of the building in the book Freda hus og gardstun I Gudbrandsdalen (Protected houses and courtyards in Gudbrandsdalen) .
