BÅRDSHAUG HERREGÅRD - HISTORIC HOTEL

Bårdshaug Manor was built in 1900 for the minister Christian Thams. An architect by training, he worked as a director for the Orkla mines and was also consul in Belgium and president of several companies in Africa and Europe. Christian Thams established Norway's first electric railway, the Thamsbanen.

The Bårdshaug Herregård consists of the manor house, which is built in the Empire style in wood, two railway buildings, and a building furnished with antiques.
