Yes, isn't it good?
As others have realised it was from the open air Folk Museum near Oslo which is one of the biggest of its kind I have been to. Scandinavia seems to like this idea of moving old endangered buildings into new areas for the public to see. One of my other favourites is the Old Town in Arhus, Denmark.
Here's another building from a small park in Sweden. This house was moved about 50 miles from its original position and was where my wife's Norwegian uncle was born. Despite the move they still have the old rocking cradle that he slept in as a baby on display.
