Overview

Nordalen saw - It is a living industrial memory from the 1880s.

The Hobøl river was one of the country's busiest stretches of river in the last century. The river gave power to many businesses.

Power had to be used where it existed. From the water wheels, the power was taken to the many machines with shafts, belts in ingenious power transmissions. Splashing, damp and raw, dangerous, singing and noisy was the working environment in the mills, sawmills and foundries. Magazines were made for magazine stoves, machines for industry and agriculture. It was turned, crates, kickers and sleds were made. At Nordalen sag, it almost looks as if they left work yesterday!

Nordalen sawmill and wood turning plant is located in its original environment along the Hobøl river and Rv 120.
It is a living industrial memory from the 1880s.

Uphill saw/frame saw with dam, pipe gate and turbine connected to a wood-turning workshop. Versatile production. In use until the end of the 1960s. Taken over by Hobøl municipality 1972.

There are open days at the museum in May and September. Then the saw and the turbine will start cutting boards.

Visits can be arranged.
