Historical park at Eidsvoll 1814

At the House of the Constitution, a beautiful park area has been established, which you can visit free of charge. If you'd like to take a walk in this unique area, you can follow the cultural trail that begins at the Old Eidsvoll Verk Bridge.

The bridge, dating from 1813, carries its own dramatic history, as the war and the Constitutional Assembly hindered its construction. The trail then leads past the new Wergeland's House and along Andelva, a small but industrious river that has played a central role in the lives and activities in Upper Romerike over the years. The arrival of the wood processing industry here revolved around sawmills and wood grinders, making this area one of the largest pulp exporters in the world. There was also a brickworks along Andelva where bricks, drainage pipes, and roof tiles were produced. For 100 years, the industry along Andelva was the backbone of Eidsvoll's economy.

The trail winds down along the river through picturesque farmland. At Mago C in Vengerfossen, the route continues back across Venjarmoen, Myravegen, and to the iconic Eidsvoll Building. See maps and more details about the trail here: Cultural Trail by the Eidsvoll Building (ut.no).

The Democracy Center, Wergeland's House, is located just steps away from the Eidsvoll Building, on the grounds of the old Eidsvoll Ironworks. The main attraction at Wergeland's House is the exhibition "Freedom and Democracy," which can be explored independently. Wergeland's House also has a café serving delicious dishes, cakes, and coffee, with a view over the grounds.

Additionally, it is possible to take a guided tour of the historic Eidsvoll Building.
