Venue Setting

A modern low-profile facade reveals spectacular hand-carved double doors by Leroy Setziol & Monica Setziol-Phillips that give way to a serene and inviting interior. Designed by nationally renowned Portland-based architecture firm, Di Loreto Architecture, Nordia House serves as the gathering place not just for Portland’s Nordic community, but for anyone interested in Nordic culture, art, design, history, food and more.

The Great Hall is an open space with contemporary wood details throughout. Natural light fills the room from floor to ceiling windows, which offer views of lush protected wetlands and access to a private patio. Pathways lead to a Woodland Meadow behind the adjacent historic Steiner cabin, named Fogelbo — a perfect spot for outdoor events and secluded ceremonies.

The MLC Conference Room is available for small groups, meetings, workshops and other private events. The room features an AV system and versatile seating arrangements, which includes patio access.
