Munkebakken, Bærum, Heritage villa in Bærum, Norway

The Munkebakken estate encompasses a red brick villa of 2000 square meters, situated on a 7.7-hectare property with extensive shoreline views toward Fornebu.

Constructed between 1914 and 1916 for merchant Otto Nyquist, the villa underwent significant renovations in 1931 under shipping executive Niels Werring's ownership.

The villa represents Nordic Neo-Renaissance architecture, designed by Norwegian architect Arnstein Arneberg as both a private residence and an art gallery.

Located at Fornebuveien 60 in Lysaker, the property maintains private status and does not offer public access to its grounds or interior spaces.

The property changed hands multiple times since the 1990s, with investor Arne Fredly purchasing it twice, including a buyback at 225 million Norwegian Krone.
