cabinporn: Photos by Jon Bolstad & wittgenstein-initiative.com Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein’s rebuilt Cabin 30 steep meters above Lake Eidsvatnet in Skjolden, Norway. For 60 years, there was only the empty foundation of Wittgenstein’s house on a steep mountain side, called “Austria” (Østerrike) by the locals. In 1919 Wittgenstein gave the house as a gift to a friend in Skjolden, but continued to live there himself when visiting Norway. Fortunately, after the demolition, care was taken of all the timber, roof tiles and windows, and now the solid, small house has finally been restored and opened. Perhaps it can be a place of work for thinkers and artists for part of the year as Wittgenstein himself did — “I can’t imagine that I could have worked anywhere as I do here. It’s the quiet and, perhaps, the wonderful landscapes; I mean, its quiet seriousness.” -- source link
