Vøienvolden gård Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Makuta Teridax: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Due to lack of response from the owner, this cache is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If the owner wants it reopened, send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to unarchive the cache listing if it still satisfies the requirement/guidelines.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,
Makuta Teridax

Geocache Description:

Vøienvolden gård er en fredfylt perle gjemt midt på sagene.

Norsk:
Gjemt mellom blokkene på sagene. Anonym fra utsiden, en gjennomkjøring i låven fører inn på tunet, innenfor er det en annen verden som åpner seg. Litt om navnet på gården; "vøien" betyr fra norrønt "å vasse". Der hvor Vøienbrua går over akerselva idag var det i middelalderen et vadested. Selvom området har en eldre historie kan Gården og eiendommen føre sin historie tilbake til 1683. Idag er det Fortidsminneforeningen som forvalter og driver Vøienvolden gård. Mer om stedets historie er hengt opp på plansjer på tunet og på foreningens vev-sider.

Fortidsminneforeningen

I helgene i sommerhalvåret er det kafe på tunet åpen fra 12:00-16:00. Det holdes også utstillinger og aktivitetshelger på gården.

Cachen er en plastboks 10x5x5 cm.

English:
Vøyenvolden gård is a beautiful farmhouse well wourth a visit. The history of the farm stretches back to 1683, when Johann Pettesen Bergmann received the estate from the magistrate in the city for special services. In 1829 the estate was sold to the master brewer J.W.Brochman, and became a meeting place for a religious group called "haugianerne".

The buildings was protected by the city-antiquarian in 1941.

Factory owner Sverre Udnæs gave the buildings to Fortidsminneforeningen in his last will. The buildings was restored and made available for the public in 1960.

Weekends in the summer there is a cafe in the yard from 12:00 to 16:00. There is also held exhibitions and special activities.
