Ole Bull's villa in Valestrand, Osterøy, was built in 1869. Ole Bornemann Bull (1810–1880) was an internationally renowned Norwegian violinist, sometimes referred as Norway's first international star. The villa, called "Bullahuset", stands on the property where Ole Bull spent his summers when he was a child. The architectural style combines elements from the Swiss chalet style with traditional Nordic ornamentation.
