Hvitsten is a former town in Akershus county, Norway, located between Drøbak and Son.
The town was named after the old farm Hvitsten (Norse Hvítisteinn), since it was built on its ground.
Edvard Munch bought the property Nedre Ramme in 1910 and created some well-known works there[2] before it was taken over by the invading Germans during World War II.
Olsen & Co. are also connected to Hvitsten where they have the family place Lysedal.
Today, son Petter Olsen's Ramme Gaard estate is located in the area.
