The troll has been given a wife, or crone (kjerring); inside both figures are an adventure park and other attractions.
The Hulderheimen cultural center in Finnsæter opened in 1989, named for a legend about a local mountain, the Hulderberg.
[1][3][4] He was inspired by a local legend of a troll who appeared both on the island and in the sea nearby.
The troll is made of injection molded concrete, polyester, and plastic,[4] was 17.96 metres (58.9 ft) high, and weighed 125,000 kilograms (123 long tons; 138 short tons); in 1997 Guinness World Records listed it as the world's largest troll.
[3] In 2007 a wife, or crone, was lowered beside the troll by crane;[7] their union was blessed by a priest with two NRK program hosts serving jointly as best man,[3] and in 2012 they had sextuplets, which were baptized.
