History

Gjestfriheten is a 19 double bedroom mansion located at the water’s edge of the 70 km long Randsfjord. Just 65 minutes from Oslo by car and 30 minutes from the international Oslo airport, the property has it’s own beach and jetty. The original house is several hundred years old and dates back to before there were road connections of any kind. It was first a post office, bakery and bed and breakfast and could be reached only by boat. In 1949 the house was extended to function as a convalescent home under the name of Fredly. In the 1950’s Fredly was sold and renamed Skarsjø. In the 1990s Skarsjø was sold to Oslo Bymisjon and for a period of years served as a conference centre and retreat for employees and monks before it changed hands again around 2000 and renamed Gjestfriheten Fjordstue. From 2000 – 2009 Gjestfriheten Fjordstue has been popular for both Norwegians and tourists as a bed and breakfast lodge, conference center and place to celebrate weddings, birthdays and confirmations. The people of Hadeland are well acquainted with Gjestfriheten and all have happy memories of attending celebrations there.
