Image description: 
Setesdal is a valley in Aust-Agder county. Because of its isolation Setesdal has preserved many old customs and traditions. Medieval characteristics were common in folk art and architecture into the 1800s. The Setesdal farmstead shown here is made up of two farms which share a yard, as was common before the land reforms. Over the centuries many farms had been divided, and the buildings of four or five different holdings could be gathered in one farmyard.
