Toftes Gave

Toftes Gave was a Norwegian orphanage for enforced placement of maladjusted children, or children in deficit of parental care. It was established in 1844 in Munkedamsveien in the city of Christiania. The institution was relocated to Ullensaker Municipality in 1858, and again to the island of Helgøya in Nes Municipality in 1876. The institution closed in 1947.
