Follum

Follum is an old manor and village in Ringerike municipality, Norway. It is located north of Heradsbygda, along the old road to Ådal, and on the west side of Ådal river.

Norske Skog Follum, originally founded as "Follum træsliberi" in 1873, is today one of Norway's three largest paper mills. Between the factory and Veienmarka is the so-called "Follumbyen", a residential area that was originally linked to the factory. On the side is another residential area, Begnamoen, with some connection to the factory. "Follum school" existed in the region from 1898 to 1965.
