Thomas Erichsens Minde

The Thomas Erichsens Minde estate features an 800-meter avenue lined with ash and linden trees leading to the Hop harbor and main building.

The estate transformed from a magistrate seat in the 1500s to the residence of merchant Thomas Erichsen, who constructed the main building between 1793 and 1795.

The Louis XVI architectural style of the main building reflects the European design influences on Norwegian manor houses during the late 18th century.

Located at coordinates 60°28'N and 5°13'E, the property operated as a retirement and nursing home until 2010 before transitioning to new ownership.

The estate maintains its original avenue of trees, creating a grand entrance pathway that extends through different elevation levels toward the harbor.
