Bogstad Farm

Bogstad Manor is a historic manor house in northwest Oslo, built on an old farm on Lake Bogstadvannet. The building, constructed between 1760 and 1785 in the neoclassical style, was home to prominent families such as Peder Anker and Herman Wedel Jarlsberg. Today the estate is owned by the City of Oslo and operated as a museum in cooperation with the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History. You can tour the fully furnished rooms, which feature furniture, chandeliers, and paintings from the period between 1750 and 1850. In summer, guided tours offer insights into the history of the estate and its well-kept grounds, with their winding paths and artificial streams.
