Ulefos Hovedgaard, Empire style manor house in Nome Municipality, Norway

The white manor house sits on a hill above Ulefoss community, featuring symmetrical designs and grand proportions characteristic of Empire architecture.

Constructed in 1807 during the Napoleonic era, architects Jørgen Henrich Rawert and Christian Ancher Collett built the estate using slag stone from Ulefos Jærnverk ironworks.

The estate contains exhibits and collections managed by Telemark Museum, presenting Norwegian elite lifestyle from the 19th century through guided tours.

The manor opens to visitors during summer months from June through August, with group tours available year-round through advance reservation.

Merchant and industrialist Niels Aall developed this summer residence, which remains connected to his family as descendants maintain ownership of adjacent forest properties.
