The history of Wrightegaarden
The oldest part of the house dates back to the beginning of the 18th century. In 1800, the wealthy Jacob Cudrio gave the farm as a wedding present to his daughter Bolette and her husband Just Wright. Hence the name Wrightegaarden.

Bolette lived on the farm until 1850, but did she ever move out? It is said that she still haunts the house, and on some days, the staff has noticed her presence in the form of inexplicable shadows or sudden sounds that occur in the rooms. Perhaps her love for music is what has made Bolette stay at the venue?
