Ulefoss Hovedgård is a magnificent manor house widely considered the most important architectural work from the Empire era in the country. Built between 1802 and 1807 as a summer residence for the wealthy Aall family, it boasts a grand design with columns, symmetry, and a striking dome, influenced by classical architecture. The manor served as the home of Niels Aall, a significant figure in Norway's 1814 constitutional assembly, and has hosted royalty. Today, it operates as part of the Telemark Museum, offering guided tours, exhibitions, a café, and beautiful English-style gardens, providing a glimpse into Norwegian aristocratic life and history.
