History

The manor house was built between 1799 and 1803. It was then owned by the merchant and leading citizen in Stavanger, Gabriel Schanche Kielland (1760-1821). He gave the estate its present name after the last letters of his and his wife's names: Gabriel Schanche Kielland, Johanna Margaretha Bull. Ledaal was bought by Stavanger Museum in 1936. The estate is today a royal residence, a museum and the representation building of Stavanger municipality.[2][3]

In 1989 a painting of the residence was displayed at Nasjonalgalleriet as a part of the exhibition Kulturminner i norsk kunst. The painting was reviewed and commented during the opening day tour by King Olav V.[4]

gollark: Anyway, we hit *those* limits ages ago, so we achieve our high clocks by extending the processors out into arbitrarily many orthogonal dimensions, ignoring the "speed of light", and patterning the logic gates directly onto underlying physical laws.

gollark: Clock speeds are constrained mostly by CMOS processes as far as I know, lightspeed issues are secondary.
