We had a semi guided tour and I found it all very interesting. I wouldn't make a special visit for it but good to see if you are in the area. It is a bit of a mission to get there as it is way up on a hill. There is lots of history. If you cant make it here, just watch the movie "The Heroes of the Telemark" they say it is historically accurate.
