In 1930 a three sq. metre cable house was built on Jeløy. This house is produced to Telegrafvesenet’s standard for sea cable houses and was used to receive the sea cable crossing the Oslo fjord, from Jeløya to Horten. Both the cables have been preserved, but the house on the Horten-side has been demolished. The house sits in a beautiful location and has had a small porch added to it. Inside it is even equipped with a small table complete with a table cloth, and it is said that the telegraph manager brought his wife here to enjoy the sunset and end the day with a glass of white wine.
