Between Moss and nearby Sarpsborg is a place called Soli Brug. It was bought in 1975 by the Dørje-Berg family and has been lovingly restored and developed. Mrs. Eva Dørje-Berg is a ceramics artist and the son Ole Dørje an artist and the two families live there. Twice a year, in June and in December, they open up five of the houses for art exhibitions for two weeks. Usually around 15000 visitors come to each exhibition and many of the art works exhibited are sold.
I was there last Sunday.
In the red building above you can take a cup of coffee and eat delicious cakes.
This year one of the artist who exhibited was Per Rosenberg who had painted many colorful cows. That was a good way to enjoy cows!
The nearby Åsgård River from the 16th century became an important place for cutting timber to be exported and at its height (1860-1880) had 22 saws and 600 workers. It closed in 1925.
The place has its own website, in Norwegian.
