The heavy water cellar (opens June 18)

One winter night in February 1943, a group of Norwegian special forces soldiers risked their lives in the heavy water cellar. Now the same area is open to you. Experience the place that changed the world.

From power station to world heritage site

The story of Vemork is a story of people, machine power, struggle and culture. An industrial adventure with both heroes and the workers who toiled every day in the leading roles.

Experience what was once the world’s largest power station and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Rjukan-Notodden Industrial Heritage Site. Norway would never have been the same without it.
