• Mini city is a model of Kvadraturen in Kristiansand miniature, so the city appeared in the 1890s. "Mini-builders" is a group of enthusiasts who have built the model as a hobby.
• Refugees cabin: Near the main building is a cabin that was used by resistance fighters on the run from Gestapo during World War II.
