Kjørbo

Kjørbo manor

Kjørbo is a former manor in Bærum, Norway.

It is located slightly south of the city of Sandvika, near the outlet of the river Sandvikselva, at the opposite shore of Kadettangen. Originally a home farm under Nesøya manor, in 1630 it was made into a manor of its own and resident site of Nesøygodset. After a long series of private owners, the whole property was sold to Norconsult-gruppen, a group of consulting firms operating in the international market which established its Norwegian headquarters on the venerable grounds. The futuristic offices premises were built for Norconsult-gruppen and Norconsult International and inaugurated in 1981. The company Saga Petroleum Eiendom acquired the property in 1990 and Norsk Hydro in 1999.[1] From June 2009 the local police will be accommodated in new localities at Kjørbo.[2]
