Skøyenparken

Skøyenparken

Skøyenparken is a park in Oslo, Norway. The park belongs to Skøyen Manor, which lies adjacent to it. The middle section of the park is fenced in in private, but the outer parts are publicly accessible, including the park's forest with elm, oak and ash trees, and a nature park with walking paths. The park was built in the 1860s, under the orders of Nicolai August Andresen, the owner of Skøyen Manor.[1] The pond in the park has obtained the popular name "Butensjøen", after August Andresen Butenschøn, who owned the farm later in the century.
