Heimahuset was built in the early 1800s and was originally a tenant farm under Selvig farm, which at the time was a large estate with many associated tenant holdings. The old name of the area is Selvig.<\/strong><\/p>\n Over time, the house was extended by about one third, and the central part of the roof was raised. There was also once a barn where the L\u00f8a stands today. The L\u00f8a has since been completely rebuilt by the bakers, who used it as a gathering house, popularly called the \u201cBingo House.\u201d<\/p>\n The tenant farmer at Selvig was Hans Thoresen L\u00f8vig. He inherited the holding and position from his father, who had also been a tenant farmer here. Hans married Anna Thormodsdatter Ims, who came from Ims. Together they had seven children, although their youngest son died at birth. Anna passed away in 1878 at the age of 41, when their youngest child was four years old.<\/p>\n The following year, Hans remarried 18-year-old Berta Endresdatter \u00c5dn\u00f8y, who came from \u00c5dn\u00f8y. Together they had five children, meaning Hans had a total of 11 living children to provide for. Hans died in 1892, when his youngest daughter Ingeborg was just one year old.<\/p>\n Their son, Hans Bartenius L\u00f8vig, later left for America with his mother Petra and his siblings. They travelled by ship from Kristiansand and arrived in New York on 5 May 1909, later settling in Ohio, where two of the older brothers, Rasmus and Reinert, had already emigrated in 1886.<\/p>\n Hans went from being a tenant farmer in Norway to becoming a farmer in America, which at the time carried a higher social status. His mother returned to Norway in 1920 and passed away in 1940, and is buried in H\u00f8le.<\/p>\n The family did well in America, and descendants have returned to Norway several times. We have also welcomed visits since Bakernes Paradis was established. The descendants have extensive knowledge of their ancestors and show great interest in the restoration and development of the old tenant farm.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kronenhotels.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Bakernes-Paradis-10-Heimahuset-Cafe.jpg” title_text=”Bakernes-Paradis-10-Heimahuset-Cafe” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]The siblings were later visited by their youngest sister, Ingeborg, from America. In 1920, the Bakers\u2019 Guild took over the property. The Bakers\u2019 Guild in Stavanger purchased the estate, and the place became known as \u201cthe bakers\u2019 holiday retreat.\u201d<\/p>\n Between 1922 and 1926, the bakers built Litlahuset and Reisehuset. They also renovated existing houses and barns, and constructed the pier. The houses were converted into small living units for the families, and the site could accommodate up to 11 families at the same time.<\/p>\n Life here was simple and good. Meals were prepared on portable stoves, and the bakers enjoyed long summer days by the fjord. The local boat was arranged to stop at the pier for an extra fee, and was also used by holiday guests staying in the surrounding summer houses.<\/p>\n The bakers had their own rowing boats, which they used for fishing, trips, and shopping in H\u00f8le. Milk was collected from nearby farms. They also planted berry bushes and fruit trees, which was common for townspeople spending summers in the countryside.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kronenhotels.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Bakernes-Paradis-6-Heimahuset-butikk.jpg” title_text=”Bakernes-Paradis-6-Heimahuset-butikk” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n There are many stories about the good life, togetherness, joy, intrigue, romance, and play. It is often the children\u2019s perspective that emerges in conversations with people who experienced summer memories from the place. The experiences are many and varied, stretching back almost 100 years in time.<\/p>\n What has remained constant through all these years is that children from neighbouring farms and summer houses were naturally drawn to the bakers\u2019 holiday retreat. There was always life and activity here, and it was an exciting place to be. The bakers hosted bingo in the barn and occasional dances in the courtyard. Local residents and holiday guests would often drop by. What remains is the feeling of childhood summers and simple joys.<\/p>\n Most of the bakers worked at the bakery Samhold, located in the eastern part of Stavanger. Many also lived in the surrounding area of Storhaug.<\/p>\n On 9 April 1940, Stavanger was occupied by German troops, and the city was filled with tanks and soldiers. Two days later, on 11 April, a British bomber was shot down and clipped Storhaug School and surrounding buildings. The school burned down together with six nearby residential houses. Fortunately, no children were in the school, but three people were killed and many were seriously injured. All six British airmen in the aircraft died instantly. The war had become a reality, and radio cars drove through the city advising people to move to the countryside for safety.<\/p>\n The bakers gathered their children and families and went to Lauvvik. During this period, more than 60 people stayed at the site. There was unrest and uncertainty, as fighting also took place in the fjord leading towards Dirdal. There was heavy bombing at sea from Helle and inland, and rumours spread that a submarine was hiding in the area. The fighting peaked around the events at Gloppedalsura on 22 April 1940.<\/p>\n Once again, we hear the story from a child\u2019s perspective, this time marked by anxiety and fear. People in Selvikv\u00e5g experienced windows shattering from the explosions, leaving lasting impressions on young minds. Children also sensed that the adults were keeping secrets that could not be spoken aloud. Nothing was said openly, but everyone knew that something was happening.<\/p>\n At the time, residents were required to report how many fruit trees they had and the size of their harvest, which was to be delivered to the Germans. The townspeople at Lauvvik therefore smuggled fruit away in rowing boats at night to secure food for their families.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Referanser” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”700a669e-070c-4b5c-baf9-28d57d76c535″ global_colors_info=”{}” locked=”off”][et_pb_row module_class=”pa-inline-buttons” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”505268df-46f4-4701-8de9-e30c3e4b0a25″ max_width=”800px” module_alignment=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”800px” module_alignment=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Spend the day at Bakernes Paradis.

In earlier times, young unmarried women who gave birth in secrecy would sometimes take the lives of their newborns out of fear of the shame associated with it. At that time, it was considered a grave sin to have a child under such circumstances.<\/p>\n It is said that the Utburd would often make itself known by crying out, and was therefore also called the \u201cRoper\u201d (the caller). According to folklore, the Utburd could take many forms and might attach itself to the back of anyone passing by its burial place. Because it was not baptised, it was believed to have no place in heaven.<\/p>\n Some people sought to give their infants peace by naming them before they were taken. A common practice was to use wordplay instead of formal baptism. This could be done in ways such as[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”505268df-46f4-4701-8de9-e30c3e4b0a25″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n \u201cI baptise you in hope \u2013 either Kari or Jon.\u201d<\/p>\n And then all one could do was hope for the best.<\/p>\n The bakers\u2019 children in Lauvvik heard many frightening stories about this, but they mostly enjoyed competing to see who could spot the goat in Uburen.
