Great museum, we came just in time for a guided tour they noticed that I spoke English (my partner speaks Norwegian) and offered a English tour which I think was a rarity at this time of year. We ended up being the only people on the tour, the guide was brilliant in his knowledge and the house was amazing to see true piece of Norwegian history.

Nice place in very relaxing atmosphere

Be aware, that the tour is all, there's no walking around on your own, so get those pictures, ask the questions, make sure you get to take it all in. It's pretty fascinating when you think about it. 😃

The monumental place for modern day Norway. Buildings and surrounding are very well preserved. Quiet place with a small park to walk and relax, which is kinda unique in this part of Norway. Shame that Norway is funding schools and other cultural buildings and events around the globe but can't find a way to make fee-free entrance to such a monumental museum in own courtyard.

This is the building that the Norwegian Constitution was writen in 1814. Men from all parts of Norway meat here for the discussion and writing of the Constitution

Very important historical site for Norway and Norwegian.

Clean and peaceful, full of mistery and history about Norway. Can do picnic with family. I highly recommend this place.

The most historical place in Norway. Really great seeing it. Well done exhibition and interactive setup for grown ups and children.

Nice place for a walk

Eidsvoll Manor, located at 30 minutes by car from Oslo, is the place where the Constitution of Norway was signed in 1814. The building was first constructed ca. 1770. As it stands today, the manor is the result of an extensive renovation and modernization in the years around 1800 by Carsten Anker. In 1814, the Constitution of Norway was signed at Eidsvoll on May 17. The Manor can be visited nowadays and within the location you can serve a frugal lunch consisting of sandwiches, muffins and waffles. Also, there is a souvenir shop in the cafeteria where you can buy various objects from umbrellas to quill pen, similar with the one that the Constitution was signed.

Such a nice place with great history. Worth to see with kids. 😊

The guided tour was very well and lasted for about an hour. The guide new his stuff and it was great to hear the history with th 17th of may 1814.

Eidsvoll 1814 has been on my wishlist of places to go for about four years. That is when I learned that my 3x great grandfather was one of 112 Eidsvollmenn who drafted and signed the Norwegian Constitution. After booking a 12-day tour to "Majestic Norway" a couple months prior, I then arranged for a tour of Eidsvoll 1814 to learn more about my paternal ancestor and the place he traveled to over 200 years earlier to change the course of Norwegian hisory. The very afternoon that I landed and deplaned in Oslo, I boarded a train to Eidsvoll Verk then a public bus to Eidsvoll 1814. When I arrived on the site of the ironworks, tour guide Mikaela was just finishing up with a group so I sat in the contemporary Kafe Standpunkt, which overlooks a waterway, to rest and enjoy a beverage. Upon entering Eidsvoll Manor (built circa 1770), Mikaela and I put booties on over our footwear to protect the floors of the historic building. From there, Mikaela guided me room to room and floor to floor while talking about the history of Eidsvoll and the purpose of each room. She also told me a few stories about my 3x gg who was a farmer and served as sheriff of Valle in Setesdal for 50 years. The furnishings and overall decor in the main part of the house are sumptuous. The servants' quarters are plain but, except for the noise from the old Ironworks, it was a large, comfortable home for those who worked and lived there. Visiting Eidsvoll 1814 was a highlight of my first visit to Norway. Thank you to all the staff who helped make my dream come true.
