Bånhus, farm number 63, is located at the north end of Norskø in Sauherad (Saude) Parish. Its name derives from the farm's Old Norse name, Barnhusar, meaning orphanages. The reason for this name is unknown. Bånhus had probably been sporadically inhabited since the early 11th century, but was largely abandoned after the Black Death in 1350, when it was a parcel (bruk) under Nedre Holtan. Bånhus was permanently inhabited by 1700. Already a parcel of Nedre Holtan, Bånhus was divided again in 1842, as 135a and 135b. 135a was bought by Niels Simonsen who also owned part of Nedre Holtan (136b). This holding was called Holtan med Bånhus. 135b retained the name Bånhus.[1]

Currently, this page focuses on br.no. 135b, essentially as a very small-scale one place study.
