Kronstad Hovedgård

From 1685 to 1693, the manor belonged to Jørgen Thormøhlen, a merchant, shipowner, slave trader and industrialist.

In 1705, vicar of Bergen Cathedral Anders Bruun purchased the manor and renamed it Cronstad.

Christian Gerhard Ameln, a merchant, purchased it in 1781, constructing several new buildings and clearing the fields.

Inspired by the French Château Margaux, he hired architect Ole Peter Riis Høegh to reconstruct the building.

[5][6] The house is a white painted, two-story, wooden building with a canopy in Empire style with Ionian columns on the main façade.
