Borgarsyssel museum

Experience Norway on a cheap weekend break for the whole family. Not far from Oslo, Borgarsyssel museum is the place where visitors can learn about the history of Eastfold, from the Middle Ages up to the building of the workhouses in Norregård and Hafslund and on to the present day.

Also stop by St Nicholas' Church, which dates back to around 1115 and is also part of an open-air museum with many old buildings and interesting exhibitions. Also visit the Hafslund main farm in Sarpsborg, now a protected cultural monument and one of the best preserved manor houses in Norway. Many royals have visited the farm over the years, and the main building dates from 1762 and was built just after the previous Baroque building burned down in 1758. Hafslund Main Farm is one of the few manor houses in Norway that is open to the public. During the summer visitors can join guided tours and when the main house is closed there is always the very beautiful and well maintained park to explore.
