Listed 1889 wood pulp mill in Jevnaker, now part of an open-air sculpture museum.

The Kistefos Wood Pulp Mill is a former groundwood mill and hydroelectric plant on the river Randselva in Jevnaker, Norway. Founded in 1889 and listed in the Riksantikvaren register, the well-preserved industrial buildings give a vivid sense of the Norwegian timber industry in the late 19th century. Today the site forms part of the Kistefos Museum, which combines the industrial heritage with contemporary sculpture art and attracts art lovers and history enthusiasts alike each year. The pairing of industrial history with modern outdoor art makes this ensemble particularly distinctive.
