Frekhaug Manor

Frekhaug Manor (Frekhaug hovedgård) is a manor house and farm located on the southeast side of Holsnøy. The main house is a notched, two-story log house of painted white panel with a hipped roof. The building has a portal in rococo. The building was probably built in the 1780s and is surrounded by granite walls. In 1780, the farm was bought by skipper Cort Abrahamsen Holtermann (1730-1813).[4]

Since 1914, the manor house has been owned by the Nordhordland home mission (Nordhordland indremisjon).[5]

Notable people
gollark: There is also no version history at all, or oversight.
gollark: When I work on potatOS, I deploy at any time and all computers update within 5 minutes or so. There's no testing so if I make a mistake which breaks it badly enough that it stops updating I have to fix it very fast. It's called "extreme programming".
gollark: "I was going to delete this user, but I forgot, and I'm actually on holiday tomorrow, so I'll do it next month."
gollark: "We'd like to delete this user, but our policy says that we can't deploy except on Fridays, and we have to run this one line of SQL to delete them through our change request process. We should be done by next year."
gollark: "We're working on it, but unfortunately all the documentation is written in uwu gamer language, so we have no idea how our service works, sorry!"
