The estate was established in 1698 as a summer residence by General Tritschler. Several military men owned it, including General Hausmann, who built a baroque garden with fish ponds and fountains. When Frederik V visited Christiania in 1749, he stayed with Hausmann. The facility was named after General Johan Mangelsen, who became the owner in 1757 when Hausmann died. Iver Anker, brother of Bernt Anker, rebuilt it to its current appearance.

The Prince Christian Augusts Memorial Foundation bought the property in 1812. It was used as a work and welfare institution for the city's poor, and later became a forced labor institution.
