Bogstad

[1][2] Bogstad has its origin in a farm which was located near Bogstadvannet, a lake in the valley of Sørkedalen.

The property included forested acreage which provided the basis for sawmills and timber trade.

Timber trader and landowner Morten Leuch was the owner of Bogstad estate from 1756.

Bernt Anker later acquired the estate through marriage with Leuch's widow, Mathia Collett.

[3][4] Peder Anker utilized the slope from the main house down to Bogstadvannet for development with curved paths and artificial creeks.
