Description

Troldhaugen - Edvar Grieg\'s home photo

Troldhaugen was the home of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. His and his wife\'s ashes rest inside a mountain tomb near the house. The house itself and its surroundings are now a Grieg museum. Edvard Grieg himself called the building \'my most important composition\'. The name comes from Trold meaning \'troll\' and Haug meaning \'small hill\'.
