Skrivergården and the Park

The building was the residence and office of the magistrate until Feyer sold the property to the municipality in 1869. Skrivergården was then inaugurated as a schoolhouse on 9 March 1870, and was used for various school purposes until 1991.

Christian Feyer also owned a garden on the opposite side of Strandgaten, which after the municipality's purchase was called "Kommunehaven". In 1876, the municipality decided that it should be turned into a park, and eventually it was simply called "Parken". In the 19th century, music was often played here in the summer.

The park fell into increasing disrepair throughout the 20th century before it was completely destroyed during the Second World War. Dalane Tidende called it a "stain of indignation" in 1949, but that same year the park was repaired. 45 years later, in 1994, the park reopened after major work including restoring the park's old fountain after it had been found by a fisherman in Skagen, Denmark.
