Skredshol Manor
Skredshol is a historic farm estate situated on the Nes peninsula in Ringsaker Municipality, Innlandet county, Norway. Overlooking Mjøsa, the nation's largest lake, the property sits at an elevation of 246 meters and covers a total area of approximately 203 hectares. This land is divided between forestry and active agriculture, with roughly 94 hectares dedicated to forests and 73 hectares used for farming operations. The estate is geographically located within the Hedmarken district of Eastern Norway and retains its status as a significant cultural landmark within the region.
The site holds considerable historical importance as a former noble-seat farm, known locally as a setegård, which historically granted it exemptions from taxes and tithes. First documented in 1403, the manor was once owned by prominent Norwegian figures, including Reich Chancellor Jens Bjelke and his son Jørgen Bjelke. Throughout the late 17th century, ownership transferred through notable military and aristocratic families, including the von Løwenhielm and Brockenhuus lines, before the Moslet family assumed control in 1922. The main building is currently protected as a historically significant residence, preserving the architectural heritage of the estate.
Today, Skredshol continues to function as a working farm while maintaining its protected status. The preservation of the main residence ensures that the legacy of its past owners, who played key roles in Norway's military and administrative history, remains visible. The combination of its scenic location on the peninsula and its deep roots in local nobility makes it a distinct point of interest for those studying the agrarian and aristocratic history of the Innlandet region.
