Bogstad Manor

The history of the estate dates back to 1649. Bogstad remained in the same family from its establishment in 1649 until it was presented to the Bogstad Foundation in 1955 as a public museum administered under the aegis of the Norsk Folkemuseum.

Bogstad Manor holds a central position in Norwegian history, both as an industrial estate and as a centre during important periods of our political history. Landowner and proprietor Mr. Peder Anker and his descendants, the Wedel Jarlsberg family, have handed down to posterity a beautiful home, with its original interiors almost unchanged and today open to the public.

Peder Anker - landowner, industrialist and Prime Minister

Peder Anker (1749-1824) at Bogstad was an outstanding 18th century figure; not only a landowner, timber merchant and industrialist, but a filantropist and patriot who encouraged the development of Norwegian institutions. Peder Anker became Prime Minister in 1814 and his son-in-law, Count Herman Wedel Jarlsberg became Minister of Finance.
