The Norwegian farm culture (Norwegian: bondekultur) was a rural movement unique in values and practices which assumed a form in Viking Age Norway, and continued with little change into the age of firearms – and in many respects even to the early 20th century. It has been described as unique in Europe and was widely celebrated in Norwegian literature during the romantic nationalist movement.
