Sæteren Gård farm at Murenveien in Bærum

Sæteren gård was originally a seat for Haug gård. From 1771 it became a homestead for Nordre Haug farm, and in 1865 it was converted into an independent farm. In 1945, the state confiscated the farm after it had been owned by a war profiteer during the war. However, the state was not a good owner, and the premises were very dilapidated when Olav Thon bought it in 2000. He donated it to the Norwegian Tourist Association Oslo and Omegn and financed the rehabilitation of the buildings and the construction of a new house for a permanent manager. Several of the houses that stand there today are the original ones from the 19th century.
