A Name with Roots
A Name with Roots
The estate’s name honors Dr. Nils Natvig (1869–1951) — a pioneering Norwegian physician known for his early contributions to medicine and public health. In the early 1900s, Dr. Natvig helped develop northern Nesøya into one of the first health-focused residential retreats in the Oslofjord region. Drawn to the purity of the air, the open landscape, and the stillness of the coastline, Natvig saw Nesøya as a sanctuary for reflection, wellbeing, and recovery — values that still define the area today.
