The cottage is privately owned by the Norwegian Royal Family, where they usually spend winter and Easter holidays.

[1] The cottage was built in 1900 and was completed in 1902 when it was given as a gift to the Swedish princes Gustaf Adolf, Wilhelm and Erik.

Originally the Prince's cabin consisted of a big log house with eight rooms and a gallery.

After it was donated to Crown Prince Olav several houses were added and the current royal couple has had even more cottages built.

The original cabin and most of the other lodges that have been constructed are built of timber, and some with natural cladding.
