Mogens Larsen Monsen

Mogens Larsen Monsen (18 June 1727 – 3 May 1802) was a Norwegian timber trader and major land owner.

The core of Monsen's business was based on timber purchases in the Glomma river system, besides some of his own forests.

Linderud was the center of a large estate that included several hundred thousand acres of forest, many saws and farmland.

Following his death in 1802, Linderud passed to his son-in-law Haagen Mathiesen (1759–1842) who was married to his daughter Beate Monsen (1766–1823).
