In 1922, the old schoolhouse was built to provide a safe and warm shelter for children who had a long way home. Now, a hundred years later, it welcomes those who wish to experience the tranquility and beautiful nature in the northern part of Dønna, right on the Helgeland coast.
Once upon a time, this was one of the many small district schools in Helgeland, from an era before students had school bus transportation. Back then, they arrived on foot, by boat, and in winter, on skis. The journey to school could be long and perilous, especially in autumn and winter when the days were short and the weather unpredictable. In some places, like the Nord-Dønna school, students sometimes had to stay overnight until it was safe to head home again.
Although the schoolhouse is no longer used as a school, it still carries the legacy of those days. You can see it in the former gymnasium, complete with showers and changing rooms, in the old teachers' lounge, and in the art and decorations made from old schoolbooks. The furnishings are simple, but today you are greeted with modern and comfortable standards. In this way, the school building provides you with a pleasant place to stay, whether you're seeking shelter from the weather or just need a break.
