Troldhaugen

Troldhaugen

near the house. The house itself and its surroundings are now a Grieg museum.

Edvard Grieg himself called the building "my most important composition," although the building was designed by his cousin, the architect Schak Bull. The name comes from "Trold" meaning "Troll" and "Haug" meaning "small hill". Grieg is reputed to have said that children called the nearby small valley "The Valley of Trolls" and thus gave the name for his building as well. In 1985 a small concert hall was built in the valley. Below the concert hall lies Grieg's small Composer's Hut.Grieg immortalized the name of his home in one of his piano pieces, "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen", Opus 65, No.6.
