Lysøen

Lysøen

.

The island was originally the site of a farm established around 1670. The island was bought by Ole Bull in 1872 who constructed the mansion. Ole Bull drew the building himself, under the supervision of architect Conrad Fredrik von der Lippe. The architecture of the wooden building is inspired by many different architectural styles. It has a tower formed as an onion dome, common in Russian architecture, and many wooden carvings. The 700 decare large island has 13 km of walkways. The highest point on the island, 76 meters above sea level, is the site of a lookout tower which was built in 1903 by Ole Bull's American descendants.
