The small, whitewashed brick building known as \u2018Slottet\u2019 (The Castle) stands out amongst the red workers\u2019 houses in ‘Gata’ (The Street). Today, the building houses Atelier Slottet, where Hanne Gunnestad sells her own paintings, drawings, handmade jewellery, herbal creams and other handmade products.<\/p>\n

The building was constructed around 1770 using grey stone and slag stone. It was originally a workers\u2019 dwelling, but in the 1920s it was converted into a laundry for the workers\u2019 dwellings in the area.<\/p>\n
