A LITTLE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE FOX BASE
Østre Nes has a long history. It is mentioned in the 1500s as a large self-owner estate, owed
to 9 pounds of butter!
From 1692 to about 1840 the farm belonged to the count in Larvik. In 1917 the farm was purchased by Herluf Tuft,
father-in-law of Ingeborg Tuft. The purchase price at that time was £. 40,000 according to the deed.
The farm Østre Nes comprises approximately 150 acres of cultivated land, 50 acres of productive forest and 150 acres
other outlying areas.
Cabin construction at Østre Nes, as well as at Engø and York, started in the late 20s,
helped among others. of the construction of a road from Alonso to Nes in 1928. The first fixing contracts, on 9
Land was registered in 1933. Until the onset of the 2. World War II ir just under 30
fixing contracts concluded. Cottage building resumed again, especially in the late 50s when
Tuft made the upper parts of the Fox Stall accessible by construction of roads. Fox Stall
The cottage area today includes about 120 cabins.
At the top of Revebåsen is a large protected mound. On excavation in 1871, a
Tombs with two double buttons and two arrowheads from the Bronze Age.
The name Foxebåsen probably comes from the fact that glovers and screes in the area gave good
hiding places for foxes. The top of Foxgåsen is called Gigantkastet, a name that exists several
places in Norway, where there are rock mounds on the hilltops. According to popular belief, the mounds emerged from
giants who stood on the hills throwing stones at each other.
Some other names in the area also have their history. Kloppeløkka is mentioned in 1821. The name comes
of a klopp going from Engø to Østre Nes. The water then ran as a channel from
Kloppeløkk-kilen to Engø Bay. The name York is after the English city of the same name and
was probably "imported" by a skipper who settled here about 250 years ago.
The areas around Lahellefjorden were in earlier centuries characterized by Sandefjord as a
significant seafaring town. At Lahelle in the old days there was a shipyard, likes on York. And at Katta,
the schooner "Prøven" built in 1837. Well into the last century there were several shipping routes at Lahelle-
fjord, including route from Langvika on Tjøme to Lahelle, with calls at Hudøy and Veierland. Also
Østre Nes was called at by boats in its time. As late as the early 60s, boats were on schedule
from Tjøme to Knattholmen. Tourism came early to the Sandefjord area, albeit in other forms
than today.
A German author's travelogue from Norway in 1871 states, inter alia; "Sandeford Bad, the most
Modern in Norway, in summer is filled with guests from all over the country and also from
Neighboring countries. It kgl. The theatre orchestra from Copenhagen plays morning and evening during the bathing season.
Here you meet the fashionable world, take a lovely sea bath daily, etc."
Some of the doors from the old Sandefjord Bad were used on one of the cabins such as Herluf Tuft
erected at Revebåsen.
