Bygdøy

Bygdøy

Bygdøy or Bygdø is a peninsula on the western side of Oslo, Norway. The old name is Ladegårdsøen. It has several museums, like the Kon-Tiki Museum, the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History ("Norsk Folkemuseum"), the Viking Ship Museum, the Norwegian Maritime Museum and the ship "Fram", used by Roald Amundsen.

The royal estates "Bygdø kongsgård" and "Oscarshall" are also located here, and Bygdøy is one of Norway's oldest cultural landscapes with a rich history. Bygdøy has beautiful parks and forests and some of Oslo's most popular beaches, including the "Huk" ordinary and nudist beach. In 1885 there were only 111 houses at Bygdøy, today most of the huge gardens have been and are being split into smaller patches of land, making Bygdøy largely a residential zone, however retaining a profile of upscale demographics. Large parts of the area such as The King's Forest and the royal estate are protected from development, however.

Administratively, Bygdøy belongs to the borough of Frogner.
