Bogstad Manor, known in Norway as Bogstad Gård, is a historic manor in western Oslo, located by Bogstadvannet at the entrance to Sørkedalen. The estate has roots going back several centuries, while the present main building and park are closely associated with the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It is especially known for its manor house, landscaped grounds, and its connection to Peder Anker, Norway’s first prime minister.
In Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (2026), Bogstad Manor is used for the large garden party where many people from the police are gathered. The manor setting, formal grounds, and historic surroundings give the scene a stately and affluent atmosphere, making it well suited to a high-profile social event.
