Pole sheds are only to be found in mountaineous areas, and this shed in Hodnedalen are by all accounts the last of its kind in more or less completeness. The shed is simple, and was erected as a “tent-shaped” structure, and finally clad in course, tar-burnt, wooden planks. It was used to store spare poles which were dragged in in the wintertime. It could accommodate around ten poles.
The building with an area of 2.5 x 11 metres is constructed on a foundation of natural stone.
Year of construction: 1924
About the object
aboutHodnedalen stolpeskur i Lærdal: Stolpeskur forekom bare i fjellpartier, og dette skuret er etter alt å dømme det siste i sitt slag i komplett stand. Skuret ble brukt for oppbevaring av reservestolper som ble slept inn vinterstid. Det kunne romme et titalls stolper.
