Gjøvik Farm
Gjøvik, Norway, Norway
Gjøvik Farm, or Gjøvik Gård, is a historic manor house and park in central Gjøvik, Norway, established around 1810 by glassworks founder Caspar Kauffeldt, whose enterprise helped transform the area into an industrial hub and eventual town in 1861. The estate passed through families like the Mjøens, featuring lavish 19th-century interiors tied to local tales of weddings, literature, and social reforms such as the Castbergian Child Laws, before being donated to the public and granted heritage protection in 2008. Today it operates as a museum showcasing Gjøvik's glassmaking, aquavit production, and agricultural past, with a café, playground, events, and nearby glass exhibits across the river.
