Frogner Hovedgård, Skien, Manor house and heritage site in Skien, Norway.
The main building at Frogner Hovedgård exhibits Italian Renaissance architecture with columns and light-colored corner squares across its 4,800 square meters floor area.
The estate dates back to 1398 when it belonged to Gjerpen's pastor, and later in 1824, merchant Christopher Hansen Blom purchased and transformed it into a grand manor house.
The annual Frogner gathering became a local celebration featuring speeches, competitions, folk dance exhibitions, and wrestling matches held in the surrounding park grounds.
The estate now houses Mental Helse Hjelpetelefonen in its wing building, while the main structure remains unoccupied and protected under Norwegian cultural heritage laws.
A bell installed on the barn roof in 1845 regulated daily activities, calling students and teachers to meals during the property's time as a smallholding school.
