Grotten er statens æresbolig for kunstnere. Huset ble reist til dikteren Henrik Wergeland som flyttet inn i 1840. I 1922 ble huset omgjort til æresbolig for kunstnere. Komponisten Christian Sinding flyttet inn i 1924, deretter fulgte forfatteren Arnulf Øverland og kompinisten Arne Nordheim. I dag disponeres huset av litteraturprisvinner Jon Fosse.
I kløften under huset hadde Wergeland et verksted. Dette er åpent for publikum hver 17. mai, og det er en byste av Wergeland der. Det ble tatt ut brostein til slottsplassen fra grotten, det er årsaken til utformingen.
Krav til logging: Besøk grotten og Wergelandstatuen og legg bilder fra begge disse stedene til loggen. Du trenger ikke vise ansiktet, men det skal framgå av bildet at du har vært på stedene. Du kan enten lage en collage med to bilder eller legge to bilder til loggen via websida til geocaching. (Ikke i appen) Logger uten bilder fra begge stedene slettes uten varsel.Se eksempel under.
"Grotten" is the state's honorary residence for artists. The house was built for the poet Henrik Wergeland, who lived there from 1840 to 1845. In 1922 the house was converted into an honorary residence for artists. The composer Christian Sinding lived there from 1924, then Arnulf Øverland and Arne Nordheim followed. Today, the house is managed by literature prize winner Jon Fosse
In the ravine below the house, Wergeland had a workshop. This is open to the public every 17th of May and there is a bust of Wergeland there. Cobblestones for the castle square were taken from the cave, that is the reason for the design.
Requirements for logging: Visit the cave and the Wergeland statue and add photos from both of these places to the log. You do not have to show your face, but it must be clear from the photo that you have been at both places. You may make a collage of two pictures or put two pictures on the geocaching website (not in the app).Logs without these pictures will be deleted.
