Oslo Norway
Location

Bogstad is located in Oslo’s Vestre Aker district, about 10 kilometers northwest of the city center, with the historic Bogstad Manor (Bogstad gård) at its heart. The manor is a beautifully preserved 18th-century estate surrounded by lush English landscape gardens—the first of their kind in Norway—rolling down to tranquil Lake Bogstadvannet. This cultural monument stands as a testament to Norwegian aristocratic life and has played a role in the nation’s political history, notably as the home of Peder Anker, Norway’s first Prime Minister during the crucial year of 1814. The area offers a unique blend of history and nature: visitors can take guided tours through grand period interiors, explore scenic walking trails along the lake, and enjoy the adjacent parkland, which is striking in every season. Near Bogstad, you’ll also find the popular Bogstad Golf Course, and the nearby forests and Lysakerelva river make for rewarding hikes or waterside strolls. The working farm at Bogstad provides family-friendly opportunities to see historic farm buildings and live animals, while the on-site café serves Norwegian treats in a cozy setting. Access from the city is simple, with metro and bus connections leading straight to this remarkable destination.
