NORWAY'S FIRST CITY – THE VIKING SETTLEMENT OF KAUPANG – IS IN LARVIK

About 1200 years ago – 300 years before the city of Trondheim was founded – some 400- 600 people lived in an organized townlike society at Kaupang.

Excavations in recent years have yielded a great many significant finds, which are now being studied. Larvik Museum has more information and exhibits.

THE POLAR VESSEL "FRAM" – BUILT BY COLIN ARCHER IN LARVIK
The boat builder and designer Colin Archer lived at Tollerodden in Larvik. Here Frithjof Nansen's polar vessel "Fram" was built, and many other famous working and pleasure craft first saw the light of day. The "Colin Archer Days" are an annual event with boat parades, regattas, speeches and historic exhibitions at his home.
