The farm has been known since the Middle Ages because it was a subordinate estate, [2] known as Giskegods . [3] [4] The farmhouse was built by the officer Ludvig Daae (1792–1879) in 1825 and it received protected status in 1939. [1] The house has a double-room layout with a central corridor, and the exterior has a classical symmetrical style with a large dormer and the main entrance in the middle of the facade. The door frame has a classical style with an arch over the top and columns. [5]
The farm was purchased by Ludvig Daae in 1820, [6] and it was taken over by his son, the politician Ludvig Daae; the two men were the uncle and cousin of Suzannah Ibsen. During his travels in Western Norway in the summer of 1862, Henrik Ibsen visited his wife's relatives at Solnør. The farm may have served as an inspiration for his play Rosmersholm [7] (it may also have been inspired by the Molde farm in Molde and the parsonage farm in Herøy, where Suzannah grew up). [8] Ibsen arrived at Solnør on July 16, 1862 and also became acquainted with the local historian Peder Fylling there. Ibsen copied or received a collection of local oral traditions from Fylling. [9] [10]

Magdalene Thoresen, Ibsens mother-in-law, was also at Solnør and met Peder Fylling. Thoresen used the lore that Fylling provided her with in her volume Billeder fra Vestkysten af Norge (Pictures from the West Coast of Norway, 1872). [11] [12]

Ludvig Daae hired the young Ivar Aasen as a private teacher for his children. It was during his time at Solnør that Ivar Aasen formulated his Nynorsk program in the essay "Om vort Skriftsprog" (Our Written Language). [13] Aasen had previously taught at the home of Hans Conrad Thoresen, Ludvig Daee's brother-in-law and Ibsen's father-in-law. Aasen spent seven years at Solnør, and during that time he began studying the Sunnmøre dialect and also studied the plant life in the area.
Ivar Andreas Aasen was a Norwegian philologist, lexicographer, playwright, and poet. He is best known for having assembled from dialects one of the two official written versions of the Norwegian language, Nynorsk.
Nynorsk is one of the two written standards of the Norwegian language, the other being Bokmål. Nynorsk was established in 1929 as one of two state sanctioned fusions of Ivar Aasen's standard Norwegian language (Landsmål) with the Dano-Norwegian written language (Riksmål), the other such fusion being called Bokmål. Nynorsk is a variation which is closer to Landsmål, whereas Bokmål is closer to Riksmål.

Bjørnson is considered to be one of The Four Greats among Norwegian writers, the others being Henrik Ibsen, Jonas Lie, and Alexander Kielland. Bjørnson is also celebrated for his lyrics to the Norwegian National Anthem, "Ja, vi elsker dette landet".
The Paus family is a Norwegian family that first appeared as members of the elite of 16th-century Oslo. Two brothers from Oslo who both became priests, Hans (1587–1648) and Peder Povelsson Paus (1590–1653), have long been known as the family's earliest certain ancestors. In his book Slekten Paus, genealogist S.H. Finne-Grønn traced the family two further generations back, to Hans Olufsson, a member of the royal clergy in Norway before and after the Reformation, who served as a canon at the royal chapel in Oslo, St Mary's Church, the seat of government of Norway at the time, and who belonged to the high nobility by virtue of his high ecclesiastical and governmental office. The name Paus is known in Oslo since the 14th century, notably as the name of the Lawspeaker of Oslo Nikolas Paus and as the name of one of medieval Oslo's "city farms" that was probably named after the lawspeaker or his family; while a relation between the older and the younger family of the name in Oslo is plausible, it has not been established. Regardless, the modern Paus family is likely the only surviving family to hail from the medieval city of Oslo which burned down in 1624 without being rebuilt, making it the family with the longest documented history in the Norwegian capital.

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
