Polhøgda

The manor home's architecture is Roman Revival, and the former estate lies between Lysaker and Fornebu in Bærum, Norway.

[4] The home was an important location of social life for a group of artists and intellectuals collectively known as Lysakerkretsen.

[5] The Nansen couple had lived at Godthaab near Lysaker since 1889, and was joined by people such as painters Eilif Peterssen in 1894, Erik Werenskiold in 1895 and Gerhard Munthe in 1899.

In addition, many people who lived elsewhere frequented the area near Lysaker; including Gerhard Gran, Andreas Aubert, Hans E. Kinck, Thorvald Lammers, Ernst Sars, Georg Ossian Sars and Moltke Moe.

It was sold for a nominal fee from his heirs to a group of donators, who in turn gave the property to the University of Oslo.
