Fasaden er kledd med osp frå Øydna sagbruk, handsama med jernvitrol, medan pipemuren er bygd i skifer frå Høgås. Materialvala er gjorde med tanke på både tradisjon, varigheit og lokal forankring.
Namnet Minne kjem frå garden Minne som tidlegare låg på staden. Ordet Minne viser òg til munningen av elvane Monn og Logna, som renn ut i Øre.
Minne var ein gammal gard, og i 1880 vart det bygd nytt fjøs, stall, låve og eit stort våningshus med ni rom, kjøken og kjellar. Rundt hundreårsskiftet fungerte eigedomen som lensmannsgard, med tilhøyrande fengsel, og i seinare tid vart staden driven som pensjonat.
Utanfor kultursenteret finn du Minnestien, utforma av Turid Uldal.
I dag rommar Minne kultursenter mellom anna lokale utstillingar og vert òg nytta til arrangement og kulturelle aktivitetar.
About Minne Cultural Centre
Minne Cultural Centre was completed in 2010 and is a modern building with deep historical roots. The centre was designed by architect Sverre Svendsen of Ratio Arkitekter and is clearly inspired by the surrounding landscape. The shape of the building reflects the valley formations and visually connects Ljosland and Bortelid.
The façade is clad in aspen from Øydna sawmill, treated with iron vitriol, while the chimney wall is built of slate from Høgås. The choice of materials reflects a conscious focus on tradition, durability, and strong local ties.
The name Minne originates from the Minne farm, which was formerly located on this site. The word Minne also refers to the confluence of the Monn and Logna rivers, which flow into Øre.
Minne was originally an old farm, and in 1880 new farm buildings were constructed, including a barn, stable, hay barn, and a large farmhouse with nine rooms, kitchen, and cellar. Around the turn of the century, the property served as the local sheriff’s residence, complete with an attached jail, and in later years it was operated as a guesthouse.
Outside the cultural centre you will find the Minne Trail (Minnestien), designed by Turid Uldal.
Today, Minne Cultural Centre hosts local exhibitions and is also used for events and cultural activities.
