Bullahuset - Ole Bull's house

Many Norwegian musicians have been inspired at one time or another by Ole Bull's gentle and folk-like music, including Edvard Grieg and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.

Ole Bull was an accomplished violinist and composer who became world famous during the Romantic period, c. 1800-1870.

Visit Ole Bull's home, Bullshuset, a beautiful pink villa on Valestrandsfossen on Osterøy, just 45 minutes from Bergen. In summer there are guided tours, and the doors to the music hall and the composer's study are open to visiting guests.

Concerts are also regularly held here, making for a very special cultural evening on Osterøy. If you'd like to listen to some of Ole Bull's famous works, try searching for 'Soothsayer's Sunday'.
