Bærums Verk

Bærums Verk

Bærums Verk is a village in Bærum in Akershus, Norway, with a population of about 8000. It is located on both sides of the river Lomma. It was named after the iron foundry ("Bærums Jernverk") that was built by Paul Smelter during the 1700s to produce cannon shells.

The foundry itself has been converted into a shopping centre. The shopping centre is owned by the Løvenskiold family, who also owns the Maxbo hardware store chain. A museum, featuring ovens produced in the foundry from the 1700s up to 1964, and shops with products handcrafted on site are situated in the old buildings.

Bærums Verk hosts Norway's oldest tavern, "Værtshuset".
