Frønningen

Frønningen is a village in Lærdal Municipality in Vestland county, Norway.

It is located in the far northwestern corner of the municipality, east of where the Aurlandsfjorden empties into the main Sognefjorden.

[2] Local painters such as Knut Rumohr have become nationally known, and today Frønningen has a gallery with his art.

It was sold in 1651 to a cleric from Bergen, the magister Peder Nilssøn Lem, whose mother owned large forests and farms in the neighboring area.

[2] Frønningen has since belonged to the Rumohr family and it currently covers about 62,000 hectares (150,000 acres) of forest.
