Sivle
Farm has an old, rich history. According to the
local history from Vossestrand, the first farmer
here was Knut Sivle in 1563.
But there is much evidence to suggest that there
has been settlement here long before then. Several
artifacts have been found by the farmers working
the land that suggest that there has been settlement
here going back to the iron-age. These artifacts
are now kept at the Bergen Museum.
In
addition there likely lies a gravestone in front
of the main house at Sivle which is thought to
date back to the early immigration time of 600
B.C.
