In addition to purely commercial property development, AB Invest has developed and built the new Prøysenhuset in Ringsaker Municipality. Prøysenhuset is a national cultural centre in honour of Alf Prøysen, idyllically located in the woods just above the Prøysen Cottage.
The house was created after Arthur Buchardt heard on the radio that there would be no public celebration of Alf Prøysen's 100th anniversary. As a result, Arthur initiated a large-scale effort to honour, commemorate, and spread knowledge about Prøysen for both current and future generations. Several of our subcontractors also made significant contributions to making the project a reality, and the house was donated as a gift from Arthur Buchardt/AB Invest to Ringsaker Municipality.
The house has been a great success, attracting many visitors since its opening on Prøysen's 100th birthday on 23 June, 2014.
