Troldhaugen was the home of world-famous composer Edvard Grieg who lived in Bergen most of his life. The house is today one of the biggest attractions in Bergen, although it wasn’t even in Bergen at the beginning; the house hasn’t moved but, in Grieg’s days, Bergen was just a small town and Troldhaugen’s location in southern Bergen was considered the countryside. Grieg was born in 1843 and built Troldhaugen in 1885, where he lived for the next 22 years before passing away at age 64. His home is interesting to visit but even more impressive is the concert hall, Troldsalen, a beautiful building just around the corner. Built in 1985, Troldsalen hosts concerts three times per week and every day during festival weeks.
