Nansen lived at Polhøgda from its completion in 1901 until his death in 1930. His grave is in the garden in front of the manor. After his death the Nansen the property was donated to "interests that is close to Nansens life and doing".〔http://www.fni.no/doc&pdf/forskningshistorien.pdf〕 Scientific research was a natural choice.
