Stonehuts at Kastad Farm in Gjøvik

Unique accommodation – stone cabins at Kastad Gård, Gjøvik.

In the middle of the field, with a beautiful view over Lake Mjøsa, Sverre Braastad cleared stones every summer until he was over 90 years old. In 2020, Eva and Patrick set up a beautiful stone hut of these stones and furnished it for guests.
