Tøyen Hovedgård - the Tøyen Estate - is a place that is rich in history. The name, originally Todin, originated in the first centuries AD. 'Tad' means fertilizer and 'vin' is grazing land or pasture. King Frederik VI bought the estate in 1812 and donated it to the newly established university of Christiania. The estate included a very considerable area of land and a shoreline to the Oslo Fjord. But most of these were later sold or leased.
