The manor from 1665
In 1658 there was a wedding between, Karen Mowat, the wealthiest heir in Norway, and Ludvig Rosenkrantz, a Danish nobleman. Karen Mowat and Ludvig Rosenkrantz were given the farm Hatteberg as a wedding present. They built their home here, and called it Rosendal. It was finished in 1665. A guided tour at the Manor House is a tour through different epochs. The rooms are influenced by owners over 250 years, and the Manor House is preserved as a home – the way it was when the last owners left in 1927.
