Tveten gård, Heritage farm in Oslo, Norway
Tveten gård is a heritage farm in Oslo comprising eight preserved buildings arranged around a courtyard and displaying traditional Norwegian architectural elements from different periods. The structures span several construction phases and show how rural building methods developed over generations.
The farm was first documented in 1408 as part of the Hovedøya Monastery estate before passing through multiple owners over the centuries. It gained new importance after Even Bernhard Stenersen acquired it in 1810 and oversaw its development.
The buildings display different architectural styles from various periods, including workers' quarters with a Danish mansard roof and a storage building from 1858 that represents construction methods typical of eastern Norway.
The site operates as a cultural center with three rental spaces available for events of different sizes. Visitors should check opening times in advance and consider booking a guided tour to better understand the site's historical layers and architectural details.
The distillery building from 1800 stands as one of the last surviving examples of its kind in what was formerly the Aker municipality area. This rare structure offers insight into old craft techniques and the region's economic history.
