Dalen farm - main building
At Dalen farm there are currently six buildings that were built at different times in the 18th and 19th centuries. The yard is designed as a row yard, and the large pleasure garden is at the end of the row, to the west.
The main building was probably built in the 18th century and stood on Kirklandet until it was moved here at the beginning of the 19th century. The house is elongated and has two floors in addition to an attic.
On the second floor of the main building, there is a room with a total of 17 very valuable wall paintings from the 18th century. The paintings show both profane and sacred motifs taken from religion, ethics, astronomy and art, with texts in Danish and English. The artist is unknown. The paintings are mounted as fillers in filler panels on all four walls.
The house also contains several building parts from the old church in Kristiansund, which was demolished in 1883.
