Fossum Hovedgård, Heritage manor house in Skien, Norway.
The French Empire style manor stands eight miles north of Skien, constructed from slag-stone with 60 rooms including a large banqueting hall.
The estate, dating from 1811 to 1818, belonged to Severin Løvenskiold who served as vice regent and remains in the Løvenskiold family since 1739.
The surrounding English-style park contains Bronze Age agricultural carvings near the main building, indicating settlements from 3000 years ago.
The private garden facility encompasses extensive forest stretches around Luksefjell and Sauherad Mountains, requiring specific maintenance plans for preservation.
The trees within the park, varying in species, age, and vitality, are recorded in a dedicated tree plan covering the main park and adjacent areas.
