Derikhuset, Hillesland
Derikhuset at Salane, Hillesland, Skudeneshavn was finished restored and furnished as part of the local museum in 1986. The house illustrates building style, and the way people lived in the south of Karmøy in the middle of the 19th century.
The house is believed to have been built around 1840. The northern part of the house is made of a two storey house that was originally built in Jelsa, Ryfylke. The timber was floated to Skudenes, there were very little trees in this area back then, so they often had to buy timber from elsewhere to build their houses.
They didn't have running water in the house, but a well in the cellar, and one in the garden.
The south of Karmøy is strongly connected to the areas south of the Boknafjord. "The Derikhouse" confirms this.
It's a "Jærhouse". Typical of the way they built houses at Jæren.
The house is open for the public by appointment and is a part of Karmsund Folkemuseum.
