Linderud Manor(Linderud gård) was owned by the Catholic Church before theReformation of 1536, and thereafter by the Crown.[1] It was bought by Peder Griffenfeldt in 1673,[2] then by Mogens Lauritzen in 1679, and belonged to the latter's family for over a century. By the late eighteenth century, the manor was a part of a property which included vast amounts of forest, some timber industrial sites and about 350 farms.[1]
The farmland surrounding Linderud manor was largely built in the 1950s and 1960s, eventually forming an urban neighborhood.[2] A primary and asecondary school were constructed between 1964 and 1968,[7][8] although a school had existed in conjunction with the farming community between 1860 and 1900.[9] TheNorwegian Military Academy is located at Linderud as well.[10] The shopping mallLinderud senter was opened in 1968, and enlarged in 1992[9] and 2009.[11] Since 1966 the neighborhood is served byLinderud station of theOslo T-bane network.[9]
