Gamle Bryggevei 19 is a waterfront house in Fjellstrand on Nesodden. The property stands close to the Oslofjord and is part of the residential shoreline environment used in scenes connected to Rakel and Oleg in the Harry Hole universe. The address is a real private home, not a public visitor site.
Gamle Bryggevei 19 appears in Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (2026), where it is used as the home of Rakel Fauske and her son Oleg. The house is shown repeatedly as a place Harry Hole visits during the series, giving it a recurring role in the story rather than a single brief appearance.
In Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (2026), Gamle Bryggevei 19 is used for the exterior scenes at Rakel’s home, where Harry arrives for visits and where the domestic side of the story is set. Because this is a private residence, it should only be viewed from public areas and never approached as a visitor attraction or entered without permission. The house can be seen from a distance, including from the fjord side as ferries pass the area near Fjellstrand, and the property is also used as an Airbnb rental.
