Bærums Verk - details
Average rating: 
This is a modern shopping centre in a beautiful environment of old buildings and natural scenery. It contains ordinary shops like any shopping arcade, but also workshops for glass-blowing and various other crafts, as well as galleries and museums. It is almost like a park, with a small river running through. There is an exhibition of sculptures that changes as they are sold. There are many places to eat and drink in, and in the summer also an outdoor marketplace. The history of Bærums Verk started in 1603 when a promising trend of iron was found there. Gradually Bærums Verk became the leading ironworks in Akershus. In 1988 the owners received an international architectural prize for "building aesthetics" for this new development. To get here, take buses 143 or 153 from Oslo. They also have free parking places.
