Frønningen
Norway, Norway
Frønningen is a remote village and historic manor estate in Lærdal Municipality, Vestland county, Norway, situated at the northwestern edge where Aurlandsfjorden meets Sognefjorden, part of the UNESCO-listed West Norwegian Fjords. Medieval settlement dates to the 13th-14th centuries with farms like Lagmannsås and Indre Frønningen under noble Kvål family ownership before Crown control and partial abandonment after the Black Death, later thriving on forestry, sawmills from the 1500s, and timber export. The white H-shaped manor house, built in 1901 by Bjarnhard Rumohr after earlier Lem family ownership, overlooks the fjord with terraced gardens, while the area preserves Iron Age artifacts, a 1968 road, and traditional steamer services until the 1960s.
