From this summer's tour of Torderoed Torderød

If you have the opportunity to visit the Torderoed

Mansion here in Moss on a Sunday in the summer

at three o'clock in the afternoon, you can join a free

guided tour of the gardens and the building itself.

In Norwegian, though.

I enjoy seeing how this project gets better and better

each year. These photos were taken on my latest visit.

The Scottish Room off the Ballroom, once a room

only gentlemen would spend their time in.

The White Room on the opposite side of the Ballroom,

once a room where only the ladies would spend their

time.

A corner in the Ballroom. The planks covering

the floor, now mostly protected by the carpet,

are all 11 meters long!

The Chrystie family who built the house and owned it

till about one hundred years ago, exported wood, so

these long planks must have been a pretty good way

of showing off.

Another corner in the Ballroom.
