Hegra Festning

Hegra Fortress was finished in 1910, an was build as a result of the end of Norways union with Sweden in 1905. The fortress was intended to stop a swedish invasion through the walley of Stjørdal. The fortress is most known for its effort during the german invasion in Norway in spring 1940. Major Holtermann and his men held the fortress without surrending for 25 days, until the southern parts of Norway capitulated. Today the fortress is open during the summer season, with a museum and a restaurant, and it is possible to wander around the whole fortress and the beautiful surroundings.

Falstadsenteret

The building from 1921 was originally a school home for “difficult” boys. During World War 2 the nazis seized the property as a prison camp. The SS Strafgefangenenlager Falstad was the only camp in Norway directly under SS commando. More than 4.200 people from 15 nations were imprisonated here during the war, and around 200 were executed in the Falstad forest close by. Today Falstad is a war memorial, a human rights centre and a education and research centre. There are several exhibitions open for the audience, and we also offer hotel and conference service.
