Ringnes Gård

Noresund, Norway, Norway

---

Ringnes Gård in Noresund, Norway, boasts over 700 years of documented history, first mentioned in 1325 when Erik på Ringnes provided witness testimony in a land deed, situated by the Ringneselva river flowing into Krøderfjorden beneath Norefjell.

A great fire in 1618 destroyed most buildings except the barn, but the estate endured through farming and forestry under family ownership, later linked to the Ringnes brewery founders whose ancestor Ellef Ringnes repurchased the full property in 1896, hosting royal guests and business associates amid its classic open courtyard of preserved structures including a monumental main house from the early 1700s.

Today operated as a conference hotel and event venue by descendants, it offers unique stays evoking the "Ringnes feeling" with historic rooms, blending agricultural roots and brewing legacy near popular ski areas.
