Summer at Bårdshaug Herregård and Orkland
Step into another era. At Bårdshaug Herregård, you will discover a beautiful manor park, rich industrial heritage, and genuine Trøndelag hospitality — just a 30-minute drive from Trondheim.
This summer, you can enjoy a concert with Vamp in our courtyard, indulge in a classic Afternoon Tea (27 June), or cast your line in the Orkla River during salmon fishing season. Nearby attractions include Orkla Industrimuseum with its historic mines and the Thamshavnbanen railway, the popular Orklandsbadet water park, and nature experiences in Sognlia and Knyken.
We have created a special summer package including accommodation, breakfast, and dinner — available from 29 June to 15 August. Or choose one of our unique packages, such as The Salmon Fisherman, specially designed for guests who want to combine a manor stay with an adventure in the salmon-rich waters of the Orkla River.

Our hosts know the story well and are happy to share insights into the estate’s unique heritage.
