A country palace in Stavanger was built to be the official residence of the King of Norway in the years between 1799 and 1803, then owned by a wealthy Norwegian merchant, and the Stavanger City Museum bought the palace in 1936, and it is now a museum, a royal residence and a representative building for the municipality. The building still contains the original furniture that was placed in it in the eighteenth century. During their wanderings, visitors will see the banquet room, meeting rooms, the luxurious dining room and dozens of bedrooms.
