Fritzøehus, Renaissance mansion in Larvik, Norway

The Fritzøehus estate spans 75 rooms and 21 basement chambers, making it the largest private residence in the country of Norway.

Michael Treschow, a leading industrialist and owner of Fritzøe Ironworks, commissioned architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan to construct this estate between 1863 and 1865.

The mansion sits within a 1700-acre park that includes beech forests, walnut trees, and a fountain featuring a bear sculpture by Anne Grimdalen.

Visitors can explore the grounds through guided tours available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from May through August, with a minimum of five participants required.

The park houses populations of fallow deer and mouflon sheep from the Mediterranean, which maintain the specific biotopes under the conservation plan.
