The Hafslund Manor

All the way back to the Middle Ages, the manor has been a place for national dramatic events and the growth of industry along Sarpsfossen. Prominent owners, strong personalities and royal guests have left their mark on both buildings and surroundings.

Hafslund Manor has had an impressive line of owners. Among them were Anna Collett and Peter Elieson, who owned the farm when the main building burned down in the winter of 1758. After the fire, the building was fully rebuilt in 1762, in the overall Rococo style. The Rococo palace is still standing today, and thanks to its preservation in 1923, the original details are well preserved.

The power company Hafslund has owned the manor since 1898. 

Hafslundparken is open to the public all year round and is well adapted for hiking and recreation.
