Villa Eckhoff through different times

Villa Eckhoff has an interesting and varied history. The villa has housed a soda factory and a business school, banquet facilities and an antique shop, German occupiers during World War II (bullet holes still visible), and famous cultural personalities. In various forms, lodging has remained a cornerstone of the villa since its beginning, often combined with residential quarters for the villa’s owners. Today’s family‑run Villa Eckhoff also has the owners living on the upper floors.

The villa was originally designed by architect Hartvig Sverdrup Eckhoff, who also designed several Norwegian church buildings and a number of Stavanger’s monumental buildings in the late 1800s.
