Fornebu hovedgård

The grand main building features light yellow plastered brick facades and a high hipped roof overlooking the Lysakerfjord waters.

The estate belonged to Hovedoya Monastery during medieval times and later became crown property following the Reformation in the 1500s.

The manor underwent major renovations between 1917 and 1922, incorporating both classical and national romantic architectural elements in its design.

The property now serves as the headquarters for Umoe Group, which purchased the building in 2002 and renovated it in collaboration with heritage authorities.

The estate generated 5.7 million Norwegian kroner in rental income during 2018, with an estimated land and building value of 43 million kroner.
