Knudaheio

About

Knudaheio is the author Arne Garborg’s Summer house. It was built at 1899 and is situated near Undheim, Jæren. The site has a marvellous view. The author himself came in the Summers to write, and this is where he wrote his autobiographical work Knudaheibrev (letters from Knudaheio).After Garborg’s death in 1924, his widow, Hulda Garborg, donated the building to Time municipality. Both of them are buried in a mound in the garden. At the author’s 150 years jubilee in 2001, a big rock sculpture of his famous mustached face was placed near the Summer house site.
