Description

The Kongsberg Silver Mines (1623–1958) constitute the largest mining field in Norway from pre-modern time, with more than 200 different mines. It was the largest pre-industrial working place in Norway with 4,000 workers at its peak in 1770.

Tour the Silver Mines

Join a train ride that takes you 342 meters below the surface and 2,3 km into the mountain. Inside the King’s mine there is a guided tour through stopes, adits and shafts. A mine elevator built in 1881 (“Fahrkunst”), is just one of many things to see on this tour, which takes 1,5 hours. The temperature is 6°C, so please dress warm! Children under 3 years are not permitted to entre the Silver mines. The banquet hall was made in 1943 as a storage room for the National Archives of Norway and 2,000 shelf meters of documents. 10 – 12 people had their daily work inside the mine from July 1943 to June 1945. Today the room is used for events, concerts, shows and company gettogethers.

Fra Wikipedia, den frie encykloped:
Kongsberg Sølvverk  også som Norges største bedrift i førindustriell tid og nådde et omfang av om lag 1000 km gruveganger, 300 sjakter og mellom 1500 og 2000 skjerp. Kongsberg Sølvverk var i kontinuerlig drift til 1958. Sølvverket er fredet som kulturmiljø etter kulturminneloven.

Anleggene er nå nedstengt og åpningene delvis gjenmurt. En liten del er omgjort til museum og turistattraksjon under Norsk Bergverksmuseum på Kongsberg. Her frakter et gruvetog besøkende 2,3 km inn i berget.
