Snarøya is a populated peninsula in the inner Oslofjord in Norway. It belongs to Bærum municipality in Akershus county. It is located south of the districts Lysaker, Lagåsen and Fornebu, and has 2,940 inhabitants. ==History== Its name is derived from the word ''snar'', meaning thicket or brushy terrain. The suffix ''-øya'' refers to the fact that the peninsula was an island until the nineteenth century.〔 It is unclear when the island was first settled, but the manor ''Snarøen'' is known from historical sources. In 1616 the manor was registered as crown land, but it later became privately owned. It comprised the entire island. The theologist Christian Kølle, who owned the manor from 1770 and 1803,〔 contributed to history as he published the topographical pamphlet ''Kort Beskrivelse over Snarøen, en liten Gaard ved Christiania'' in 1792. His daughter Catharine Hermine Kølle, born at Snarøya, is known as the first female painter in Norway.〔 In 1867 the manor was bought by a Valentin Fürst, who transformed it into a sawmill. The sawmill was closed in 1907, and at the same time much of the surrounding land was parcelled out into lots for single-owner homes and cottages. In 1923 the manor itself was bought by Mario Caprino, father of the noted film director and writer Ivo Caprino. In 1952 it was rebuilt into a film studio, Caprino Studios.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Snarøya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
