Eidsfoss Landhandleri

Eidsfoss Landhandleri

In the heart of the historic ironworks village of Eidsfoss, you’ll find Norway’s oldest country store still in operation – a small journey back in time.

Established in 1868 by workers from Eidsfos Verk, the store has long been a natural meeting place in the village. History lives within its walls, and the atmosphere reflects a true old-fashioned country store – the kind that seems to have everything.

On the shelves, you’ll find everyday essentials alongside seasonal goods and products from local farms. Just as important is the experience itself – take a break at the cozy seating areas indoors or outdoors, meet locals, and enjoy the calm of this living cultural environment.

The store is a popular stop for both residents and visitors looking for something authentic – a place where history, daily life, and local charm come together.

The store are open all year round. Opening hours may vary – please check the website of Nærbutikken Eidsfoss or their Facebook page for updated information.
