Ringstabekk

The red brick neo-Gothic building at Ringstabekk features architectural elements designed by Heinrich Ernst Schirmer and stands as a testament to 19th-century Norwegian construction.

Originally belonging to Hovedøya Monastery before the 1536 Reformation, the farm transitioned through multiple owners until Jens Ring acquired it in 1839.

The site became an educational center in 1909 when the Norwegian Ministry of Agriculture established a school for domestic science teachers that operated until 1985.

Located at Ringstabekkveien 105, the property maintains protected status since 2003 under the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage regulations.

Archaeological excavations at Ringstabekk uncovered prehistoric artifacts including stone axes, shaft-hole axes, and flint arrowheads, indicating early human settlement in the area.
