Gulskogen Manor, a part of Drammen Museum in Drammen, Norway, is a historic manor house filled with a rich collection of historic furnishings and reproduction works of art. The manor house was acquired by Drammen's wealthiest merchant, Peter Nicolai Arbo, and his wife Anne Cathrine Collett in 1794. Over the years, they expanded the property into a modern country house estate, making it a significant part of Norway's cultural heritage.
Louis XVI Style Manor House
The manor house at Gulskogen, erected in the Louis XVI style in 1804, is a testament to the architectural tastes of the period. The house still contains the original furnishings that belonged to several generations of the Arbo family, offering visitors a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Norwegian elite during the 19th century.
English Landscaped Garden
The garden of Gulskogen Manor is a highlight of the estate. Laid out in the style of an English landscaped park, it is one of Norway's best preserved gardens from that period. Since 1972, the garden has been maintained in a way that accentuates more of its original character, making it a beautiful and tranquil place for visitors to explore.
