About the museum
The Herregården in Larvik, also called Den Grevelige Residens (the Count's Residence), was built in 1674–1677 by stadtholder and count Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve. The building was the residence of the Count of Larvik and today serves as the main site of Larvik museum.
Larvik museum is a department of Vestfoldmuseene IKS, which the museum has been part of since 2009. The museum has three visitor sites: the Herregården, Larvik Sjøfartsmuseum and Verksgården. At the Herregården, the permanent exhibition “Grevens residens” is the main attraction.
The museum also presents town history, the history of the countship and manor houses, and the history of Fritzøe verk and Langestrand.
