Bygdø Royal Farm
Oslo, Norway, Norway
Bygdø Royal Farm is a historic kongsgård estate and manor house on the Bygdøy peninsula in Oslo, Norway, owned by the state and serving as the official summer residence of the Norwegian monarch, with the main house dating to 1733. Its royal ties span over 700 years, beginning in 1305 when King Haakon V gifted it to Queen Eufemia, originally linked to Hovedøya Monastery before Danish-Norwegian and Bernadotte kings used it, including King Christian Frederik's abdication there in 1814 and King Carl Johan's 1837 purchase with English-style park redesign. King Haakon VII and Queen Maud established it as their permanent summer home in 1905, a tradition continued by King Olav V and resumed by King Harald V and Queen Sonja after 2007 restorations, featuring livestock like traditional Norwegian breeds amid scenic fjord surroundings.
