Klokkergården - Stay in nostalgic surroundings on the island of Rødøy

At the foot of the majestic mountain called Rødøyløva, is the stately Klokkergården, a sexton’s residence that dates back to 1904. Here you can enjoy warm hospitality in surroundings that recall a bygone era. Accommodation Every guestroom at Klokkergården is unique and tells its own story. In the old sexton’s residence you can choose between five different rooms. Two of these have a private bathroom, while the other three share a bathroom in the hallway. If you stay in the building called Kårstua, you have the choice between the upstairs or downstairs apartment. Both offer two bedrooms and a total of five beds, a living room, kitchen and bathroom. Until 1968, Klokkergården served as Rødøy’s boarding school. Later it was even used as a barn, and fell into such disrepair that the reigning opinion was that the smartest thing would be to burn it to the ground. But its fate took an unexpected turn! Malin Arntsen and her family decided to save the once-stately building and restore it to its former glory. Today it stands as splendid testimony to their determination and a symbol of their belief that “nothing is impossible”. Read More
