Husaby

Einar Tambarskjelv is one of the most central people in the sagas. He is described as being "the strongest man and the best bowman ever to have set foot in Norway". He is also described as the "most powerful and distinguished man in Trøndelag". Allegedly he played an important role in Olav Haraldsson's canonization.

Little remains of the farm, but the contours of the old farm church which was built around 1040 can be seen. Next to the ruins a memorial stone in memory of Tabarskjelv is erected.

In medieval times, Husaby, covering 3000 acres, was the Archbishop's largest estate in Skaun. Archaeological findings suggests that the farm have been home to great men and chiefs since the Viking Age.

Husaby is perhaps best known from Sigrid Undset's Nobel Prize winning trilogy about Kristin Lavransdatter, where the main characters Kristin and her husband Erlend settles down in Husaby.

Every year the festival “Kristin” is arranged where you can experience theater, literature seminars, hikes, exhibitions, church concerts and ecumenical church services.
