A guesthouse with character

Haraldsplass Guesthouse has its roots in a long tradition of social service, where hospitality and care have always been at the heart of everything we do. This gives the house a unique sense of tranquility that remains to this day.

From a deaconess home to a guesthouse

Haraldsplass Guest House was completed in 1955 and was built in keeping with the deaconess tradition’s strong emphasis on care, community, and hospitality.

For many years, the house served as a retirement home for deaconesses after they had retired. The house was named “In Memory of Sister Regine,” after the first matron at Haraldsplass, Regine Waage.

At that time, the building housed 22 apartments for the sisters, apartments for the matron and the caretaker, as well as a few rooms for sisters in service. The home also had a dining room adjacent to the kitchen, as well as a cozy lounge.

She played a key role in the purchase of the 45-acre Mohns Farm and Country House estate in Haraldsplass in 1924.

The architecture, designed by Per Grieg, still exudes functionality and dignity—qualities that continue to define the guesthouse today
