Visitors are invited to listen to the letters at two different locations: the first one is situated on the top floor of the barn in Bie by a window facing Foglestad, and the answer can be listened to in a room by a staircase in the dairy at Fogelstad Estate (approx. 10 km north of Bie), by a window facing Bie. The dairy, also called Rosenhane, was used during the existence of the school as a lecture hall, party space and as temporary living quarters for the school’s participants. Today a permanent exhibition about the school is located on the ground floor.
