The villa and concert hall that stand here were built in 1872-73 for the world-famous violin virtuoso and Norwegian national hero Ole Bull. Before going here, read our box "Ole Bull: Romantic Musician & Patriot," a small primer about who this guy was. The building, now a national monument, is preserved as it was when the musician died in 1880. The building itself is an architectural fantasy of the 19th century, with a dome, curved staircase, cutwork trim, and gingerbread gables. Bull built 13km (8 miles) of romantic trails that meander around the island, and, if time remains, you may want to walk them, following in Ole Bull's footsteps.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
