Built in 1902 in a style that blends Norse, international and Louis XVI influences, Bårdshaug Herregård sits in Orkanger, thirty minutes southwest of Trondheim. The manor and its adjoining banquet hall cater for up to 120 guests, with ceremonies held in the cobblestoned courtyard between the manor house and the Norway Building — and a dedicated wedding planner included from first enquiry to final toast.

The story

A manor built for entertaining, still doing exactly that

Bårdshaug Herregård began as the private estate of industrialist and shipping magnate Christian Thams, completed in 1902 in a style his architect described as spanning everything from Norse to Louis XVI — which is to say, with considerable ambition. The result is a manor house that sits confidently in the Trøndelag landscape south of Trondheim, its cobbled courtyard (the Borggården) framed by the original manor, the Norway Building and the Borgstua in a composition that functions naturally as a ceremony space. A modern hotel wing has been added without disturbing the character of the original buildings.

For weddings, Bårdshaug offers something that large venues rarely can: a dedicated wedding planner assigned from the first conversation, a minimum spend that covers a proper three-course menu with drinks, and a venue hire fee that commits the space to you alone for the day. The manor dining room, library and parlours seat up to 40 guests in an atmosphere of genuine historic intimacy, while the banquet hall extends that hospitality to 120. The kitchen draws on regional Trøndelag ingredients and works with an in-house wine curator — and with Trondheim thirty minutes away, the logistics of getting guests there and back are straightforward.
