History:
During the Second World War, the Danish people collected large sums to send food to Norway. Several thousand food parcels were distributed all over the country – Norwegian aid sent a total of 22 tonnes of food from Denmark to Norway every day during the war. In 1945, NOK 13 million remained from the collection in Denmark. This money laid the foundation for the Danish-Norwegian Cooperation Fund. As a thank you for the help during the war, Norway gave Lysebu as a gift to the Foundation. In its time, Lysebu was designed by the well-known architect Magnus Poulsson, who created an environment characterized by Norwegian tradition back to the civil servants’ farms in Eastern Norway, or the royal farms in the fairy tales. The idea behind giving Lysebu as a gift to the Foundation was that Danes should be able to travel to Norway and experience Norwegian culture. This story tells about the values that Lysebu is founded on, values that sit in the walls and that inspire us every day: Generosity, gratitude and consideration.
