Refnes Gods in Norway is a hotel, originally a private mansion, known for its wine cellar and Nordic contemporary art collection. Refnes stems from the Norwegian word "rif" (English: rief) due to a rief in the Oslofjord just outside the mansion. "Gods" means mansion in Norwegian. By 1400 a small farm already existed on the land, but it was no until the Christie family's ownership starting in 1654 that the property was developed as a private summer resort. Since the new owners, Gunn and Widar Salbuvik, took over in 1998, a large number of unique pieces of art have found a new home at Refnes Gods. Every guest room and all the common areas have works of a dedicated artist displayed. More than 400 pieces from 90 well-known artists are represented. The list of the artists include names like: Andy Warhol, Edvard Munch, Therese Nordtvedt, Carl Nesjar, Kjell Nupen, Håkon Bleken, Frans Widerberg, Jacob Weidemann. |
