Thorsø or Tose is a farm located in the former municipality of Torsnes (until 1910 part of Borge) in Østfold county, Norway. The first written source found about this farm is from 1472, in the form of ''Tosowe''. This is one of three placenames in Østfold that are believed to derive from Old Norse ''Þórshof'' and thus indicate an old location for worshipping the Norse god Thor, a temple or "hof".〔Oluf Rygh, ''Norske gaardnavne: Oplysninger samlede til brug ved Matrikelens Revision, efter offentlig Foranstaltning udgivne med tilføiede Forklaringer'', Volume 1 ''Smaalenenes amt'', Kristiania: Fabritius, 1897, , (p. 276 ) 〕〔Axel Olrik and Hans Ellekilde, ''Nordens gudeverden'', Volume 1 ''Vætter og helligdomme'', Copenhagen: Gad, 1926, , (p. 544 ) 〕 Jan de Vries pointed out in his work on Germanic religion that although instances of placenames derived from ''Þórshof'' are fairly common in Norway, they are all grouped around the Oslofjord.〔Jan de Vries, ''Altgermanische Religionsgeschichte'' Volume 2, Grundriß der germanischen Philologie 12/2, 2nd ed. 1957, repr. 3rd ed. Berlin: de Gruyter, 1970, , (p. 119 ) : see also Map II, p. 116, and for Torsnes, Map II, p. 117.〕 , the property consisted of of land, under cultivation and woodland.〔Terje Bratberg, ("Thorsø" ), ''Store norske leksikon'' 〕 The main house dates to 1900, replacing one destroyed by fire in 1899.〔 Archaeological discoveries on the farm indicate that settlement there dates back to ancient times and include stone axes and two 12th-century runestones.〔Lise and Gustav Thorsø Mohr, (Parts of the Thorsø Story ), tr.

Under Oluf Kalips it became an aristocratic estate, and it has since belonged to the Rosenvinge, Bildt, Budde, Sehested and Stang families.〔 Prominent owners of the Thorsø estate have included war minister Hans Angell Gude, who disappeared from the house mysteriously in the autumn of 1814, thought to have been murdered,〔〔 and the Norwegian politician and agronomist Kai Møller.〔 Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson wrote his ''Sigurd Jorsalfar'' while staying there in 1872.〔 The estate is the "Lindeby" of a trilogy of historical novels by Ingeborg Møller, whose father's family owned the property: ''Vårfrost'' (1931), ''Lindeby'' (1933), and ''Runestenene'' (1934).〔Helga Groth, ''Hovedlinjer i mellomkrigstidens norske litteratur'', Humanistiske skrifter 1, Bergen: Grieg, 1947, , (p. 216 ) 〕〔Rolv Thesen, ''Diktaren og bygda'', Volume 3 ''Ætt og arv'', Oslo: Aschehoug, 1953, , (p. 238 ) 〕 ==Referencesp== 〔 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「Thorsø, Norway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
