Berg Manor House<\/h1>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

The property belonged to the influential Homann family of physicians in Krager\u00f8. In 1943, the last surviving family member, Henriette \u201cJeia\u201d Homann, bequeathed the family property\u2014including all buildings and their furnishings\u2014so that it could become a museum for Krager\u00f8.<\/p>\n

The main house at Berg Manor was built around 1803 and was over the years owned by several prominent merchant families in Krager\u00f8. The Homann family took over the property a few decades later.<\/p>\n

After extensive restoration, Berg\u2013Krager\u00f8 Museum opened to the public in 1955. The manor house was the starting point of the museum, housing all exhibitions and offices, and serving as the venue for guided tours.<\/p>\n

Several Buildings<\/h3>\n

On the property you will find the tenant farmer\u2019s residence, a landscaped park with ancient oak trees, a beautiful beech avenue, a viewpoint overlooking the fjord, a bathing house, a gazebo made of linden trees, and a charming small well house. Several historic buildings were also relocated to the estate, including the grain storehouse, the rigger\u2019s shed, Grandma\u2019s House, and the Solhaug cabin.<\/p>\n

In the museum building, which was constructed at a later date, you will find a museum shop and a small caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Protected Nature Reserve<\/h3>\n

The park area is protected as the Berg plant and wildlife conservation area. Therefore, driving is not permitted, nor is camping or lighting fires. These regulations apply year-round.<\/p>\n

The estate covers nearly 700 decares and is an ideal place for recreation and walking. Berg is located right by the Hellefjord, and if you wish to combine a museum visit with boating, swimming, and sunbathing, Berg is the perfect destination.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":143667,"parent":9163,"menu_order":20,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-143668","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBerg Manor House - Telemark museum<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/en\/berg-kragero-museum\/berg-manor-house\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Berg Manor House\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/en\/berg-kragero-museum\/berg-manor-house\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Telemark museum\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-01-12T10:01:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hovedhuset-pa-Lystgarden.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"949\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/en\/berg-kragero-museum\/berg-manor-house\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/en\/berg-kragero-museum\/berg-manor-house\/\",\"name\":\"Berg Manor House - Telemark museum\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/en\/berg-kragero-museum\/berg-manor-house\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/en\/berg-kragero-museum\/berg-manor-house\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hovedhuset-pa-Lystgarden.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-03-01T11:07:10+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-01-12T10:01:49+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/en\/berg-kragero-museum\/berg-manor-house\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/en\/berg-kragero-museum\/berg-manor-house\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/en\/berg-kragero-museum\/berg-manor-house\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hovedhuset-pa-Lystgarden.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.telemarkmuseum.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hovedhuset-pa-Lystgarden.jpg\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":949,\"caption\":\"The main house at the Berg\u2013Krager\u00f8 Museum manor.
