Borgestad Manor
Borgestad Manor ( no, Borgestad gård) is an estate and manor house in the municipality of Skien in Vestfold og Telemark, Norway. History Borgestad is located in the former parish of Gjerpen near Porsgrunn. It is one of the largest estates in the region. The farm was originally a church estate and was confiscated as a crown estate after the Reformation. The estate was acquired in 1700 by Anna Clausdatter (1659-1713) and her husband Major General Johan Hanssøn Arnold (1638––1709). Anna Clausdatter was the daughter of estate owner Claus Andersen (1624–1681). Johan Arnold had been commander of the regiment at Akershus. The manor house was built in approx. 1702. The Baroque garden was laid out at that same time. Other notable owners have included merchant and shipowner Diderik von Cappelen (1761–1828) and former Prime Minister Gunnar Knudsen (1848–1928).
