Buskerud Manor, Manor house and heritage site in Modum, Norway.

The main building of Buskerud Manor stands at the western bank of Drammenselva River, featuring traditional Norwegian architectural elements from the 1755 construction.

The estate functioned as a monastic property managed by the Diocese of Hamar during medieval times before transforming into residence for royal army officers.

The manor served as the namesake for Buskerud county and represents the agricultural development of the region through its transition from noble estate to educational facility.

The location now houses Rosthaug High School, which began operating in 1981 while maintaining the original main building structure from the 18th century.

The property held special tax exemption privileges similar to noble estates until 1837 when a Supreme Court ruling terminated this status.
