Wergelandshaugen has a beautiful and peaceful location, here you will immediately notice the tranquility that rural surroundings can provide. In the associated English garden, you can see and smell the plants and flowers from ancient times, back to the Middle Ages. The historic garden has been painstakingly restored to the 1920s, according to photographs and with contemporary plants. New this year is the portal to the forest and the balance park for children and young people.

You are invited to art experiences both outside and inside. Twice a year, Wergelandshaugen has artists in residence and various art exhibitions are held. There is also a sculpture park on the property where the sculptures appear as surprises placed in the scenic surroundings of the ravine landscape.

Wergelandshaugen is accessible by train, 35 minutes from Oslo S or 10 minutes from Oslo Lufthavn Gardermoen, then a 5-minute walk from Eidsvoll station. If you drive and arrive by car, it takes 50 minutes from the center of Oslo, large car park at the end of the property.
