Rygnestadtunet is an open-air museum at Nordigard farm in northern Rygnestad in the municipality of Valle in Agder county, Norway.

[1][2][3] Rygnestadtunet is an authentic farmyard consisting of a brook mill (1), farmhouse (2), three-story storehouse ("loft") (3), barn and stable (4), sheephouse (5), barn (6), storehouse on pillars ("loft") (7), blacksmiths workshop (8), and sauna (9).

The custom of building a separate house for each purpose was common in the Setesdal valley until the beginning of the World War II.

[4] The most noted of all the buildings is Rygnestadloftet, a storehouse on pillars, built in two stories by Vonde-Åsmund (Åsmund the Evil) (1540-1596) in 1590.

On the ground floor, there is a little shutter covering an opening leading to an escape tunnel ending in a grove of trees about 10 metres (33 ft) up the hill.

To the left of the main farmhouse entrance, there is the "gammelstog" (literally: "old" stoga) which is a large open room with a central hearth, complete with original furniture and decoration.

Later on, presumably after a short time, the two lower stories were added beneath it, however that addition was built using lighter construction without cog joints.

The ground floor room has beds connected to the wall, but was otherwise used as storage for food and clothes.

Both the farmhouse and the storehouse were built or rebuilt using old timbers that are assumed to come from the old stave church that once stood in Nomeland.
