Morten Leuch

Morten Leuch (15 April 1732 – 24 January 1768) was a Norwegian timber trader and landowner.

He was the son of merchant Peter Mortensen Leuch (1692–1746) and Anna Catharina Hellesen.

After several years of education abroad, Morten Leuch returned to Norway in 1754 and joined the company Collett & Leuch with his future brother-in-law James Collett (1728–1794).

[1][3] Leuch was the owner of Bogstad (Bogstadgodset), which he inherited in 1756 after his grandmother's death.

Christian Braunmann Tullin wrote the poem "Maidagen" to their wedding.
