The historic Eidsvoll - Eidsvoll Verk and Eidsvoll 1814

Historical sights close to Eidsvollsbygningen, Eidsvoll Verk og Bøn

Stallgården at Eidsvoll Verk, together with sledges, horse-drawn carriages and other transport equipment, there is a jewel of a car - namely Chamberlain Haaken Larpent Mathiesen's Napier T28 1906 - model.

This car is probably the second that came to Eidsvoll well over 100 years ago (1909). Neither people nor animals were used to cars back then, and it was therefore announced in the local newspapers when the car was going to hit the roads. The car has four cylinders and 16.9 horsepower and appears as new.

Henrik Wergeland statue

Many people probably know the statue of the statue of Henrik Wergeland in front of the Eidsvoll building. The statue was unveiled by King Olav on 13 June 1962, and the monument was created by sculptor Ottar Espeland. In front of Henrik we see the sculpture "Wergelandsbriller" made by multi-artist Ola Skjenneberg. It was created in connection with the exhibition "Vandring til Undring" in Stallgården at Eidsvoll Verk in 2009.

The sculpture remained in Stallgården until 2015, but was then moved to the square directly in front of the statue of Henrik Wergeland.

The clock tower in Bønsdalen

The tower on an old factory building in Bønsdalen. There has been industry in Bønsdalen since the early 1870s when the first wood sanding plant was built here. The factory in Bønsdalen was run as a wood processing business right up until the mid-1960s. In 1965, the paper mill was closed, while the cellulose factory was run by Follum Fabrikker until it was also closed in 1976.

Idyll by Andelva at Eidsvoll Verk

In the vernacular, this place is called "Odden på Eidsvoll Verk". On the site there is a 22 July boat which was unveiled in August 2012. The background for this beautiful area stems from an idea that operations technician Tore Innstøy and Terje Kjeldsrud at Eidsvoll 1814 got in 2011. They asked landowner Mathiesen Eidsvold Værk to make something out of the area since the site was very hilly

Råholt "by night"

Råholt is located along Trondheimsvegen/old E6 between Dal and Eidsvoll Verk. Over the past 20 years, Råholt has grown to become the largest settlement in Eidsvoll municipality. Eidsvoll Verk railway station, which is located on the Gardermobanen, is one of the most important factors that attract people moving to Råholt. It is only 17 km to Jessheim and 60 km to Oslo.
