Activities in OsloIndividual Sights in OsloSight 1: Madserud gård
Madserud farm is a former farm in the west of Oslo municipality. The farm was originally a smallholding under Søndre Skøyen and was named after a man called Mads, father of Niels Madsen, who once lived there. From 1812, the place belonged to merchant Jacob Erasmus Dybwad, who also owned Fredriksberg on the south side of the Frogner River. The middle part of the farmhouse was possibly erected sometime in the period 1852-74 by wholesaler Stener Rosenberg, in the late classical style with elements of the Neo-Renaissance. The later owner was Commander Fredrik Georg Wilhelm Sverdrup, who in 1890 extended the house with a built-in glass veranda to the east. From 1903 the farm was owned by Harald Løvenskiold. In 1913 he added the house to the west, so that it became symmetrical, and added the column section on the long side to the south. The architect for this was Herman Backer. This gave the house the shape it has today.
