[1][2] Hvitebjørn gård is located near the coast of Bunnefjorden in eastern Norway.
In 1572, the properties of St. Mary's Church were transferred to the Chancellor of Norway, Hans Litle (1540-1602).
From 1647, the farm was owned by Hannibal Sehested, Governor-general of Norway who transferred it to the Crown as an exchange of properties.
In 1694, when he married the widow Sidselle Rasmusdatter, he also acquired the neighboring farm, Stubljan i Aker.
[4][5][6][7] Today, the farm operates as an equestrian center and riding school featuring stabling and training of horses.
