The name of the farm: Øydvin ? means the field on the hill between two fjords,and we have written records mentioning the farm as early as in 1314, but we believe that the land has been farmed since 300-400 AC since there are remains of grave moulds dating from the bronze age here.The farm was probably not in use from the time of the Black plague (1350) to sometime around 1560. Written records shows us that there was only one farmer here in 1695, whilst being several today. But the farmers of the centuries gone by where not landowners, they were tenants, and most of the land belonged to the Barony of Rosendal right up to the 1930?s. |

This was changed in the years from 1899 to 1902 when they rearranged the fields and pastures, making sure that everyone got one larger field and one larger pasture on one spot which again lead to the houses being moved to the land that was ?theirs?. |
