Deserted Farm
A deserted farm ( no, ødegård) in Norway is a farm that was left abandoned or unused for various reasons. Terminology In Norway, this term primarily applies to farms deserted due to the Black Death in 1349 and 1350. In many cases, the description of the farm as ''øde'' 'deserted' became part of the farm name for posterity when the farms gradually came back into use again. Examples of such names include ''Øderå'' and ''Kroksundøgarden'' (both in Hole), ''Øde-Rud'' (in Nannestad), ''Hole-Ødegården'' (in Ringerike), ''Øde-Hval'' (in Ringerike and Modum), and simply ''Ødegården'' (e.g., in Fredrikstad). A contracted variant of the name is ''Øygard'' (in Grimstad) or ''Øygarden'' (in Søgne). The term ''ødegård'' is also used in Denmark, where starting in the 1950s Copenhagen residents began looking for abandoned and deserted small farms in Sweden that they could buy or rent and use for the summer.
