On the island of Karljohansvern in Horten, a very special experience awaits. Here you can stay in a historic barracks from 1840, built in Empire style with solid materials. The historic atmosphere and architecture remind many visitors of Denmark.
The 100-square-meter apartment has an open and inviting floor plan with kitchen and living room in one. With space for 3-4 people and its own private entrance, it feels like a house of its own, perfect for a family or a small group of friends.
From the private entrance, you have direct access to the island's many nature experiences. Here you can enjoy the tranquillity of the historic surroundings and let everyday life fade into the background.
Karljohansvern offers a perfect combination of history and modern comfort. You're within easy reach of museums, lovely beaches and city amenities. The 5-kilometer-long hiking trail around the island invites you to both bike rides and walks, and at the inner harbor you can book a sauna for a relaxing experience.

Hello! I'm Renate, and together with my family we have chosen to share our special vacation spot in Horten. After 20 years in Oslo and a background in advertising, I now work as an architect. We moved back to our roots here in Horten when the kids started school, and we're thrilled to be able to share this unique place with our guests.
