Harastølen

[1] A 5,000 square metre large building, the sanatorium had its own water power supply, and was accessed by an aerial tramway.

[1] Drawn by one of the leading architects from Bergen, Adolph Fischer,[2] the sanatorium was originally accessed by a now defunct aerial tramway, but a road was later constructed to the site.

[3] There was also a bakery, a cinema and a library,[1] a well-maintained park, and the rooms had water closets and bathtubs which was not common in Norway at the time.

[2] There was conflict between the new residents and the local community after the refugees complained that it was worse to live there due to its remoteness than in Bosnia and Herzegovina, from which they had fled.

[8] After being threatened with plans to demolish the building,[9] it was in 2021 revealed that new owners had begun work to renovate the hospital as a hotel,[7] although still not fully financed by investors.
