Skien has been a market town since Viking times and is considered one of Norway’s oldest cities . Archaeological excavations in the city centre have revealed that Skien was a trading centre as early as the second half of the 10th century, with whetstones from Eidsborg, a particularly important commodity .

The convent on the island of Gimsøy was established in the 12th century and led to an influx of people and

goods, often from abroad . The market on Klosterøya, as the island came to be known (literally ‘convent island’), eventually grew to such a size that the citizens of Skien had to petition the King to protect them from the competition from the nuns . This was achieved by granting Skien town privileges, bestowed for the first time by Håkon VI Magnusson in 1358 .

Many traces of the past are still visible in our city .

City centre The oldest part of the centre of Skien is beautifully situated between two lakes: Bryggevannet and Hjellevannet . Most of the buildings in the centre that were built after the town fire of 1886 have a distinctive classicistic, French-inspired architecture, not found in many other places in Norway . The style is known as Beaux-Arts (fine arts) after L’École des Beaux-Arts, the French school of art and architecture .

ShoppingShopping in the city centre is a nice city experience . In the heart of Skien, you’ll find exciting clothes stores, fragrant florists and a raft of specialist shops . And when you need a break, there are many cafes and restaurants in attractive surroundings .

Vibrant urban spacesMany of the rear courtyards in the old walled city were built to be large enough for horse-drawn carriages to turn around . After the carriages were replaced by cars, many of the courtyards stood empty and fell into decline .

In recent years, Skien municipality has worked with owners to spruce up several of these courtyards as part of the ‘Mosaic’ city project . Together, we’re creating new homes, social spaces and shortcuts through the courtyards to make the centre more vibrant . Several of these urban spaces are also adorned with large, permanent artworks . Take a look in the courtyards behind the cafes Sitt Ned and Mamis, or take a stroll through Ibsenpassasjen at Henrik Ibsensgate 10 to see for yourself .

City walksWhy not combine a tour of the city with one of our city walks? A late-afternoon ‘Morild’ walk in winter can be beautiful . During the summer, you can follow the ‘From Bakkestranda to Bryggevannet lake’ route to explore the urban space . This lakeside walk covers a distance of 1 .8 km along Hjellevannet and Bryggevannet in the centre of Skien .

The height difference between the river Skienselva and the lake Hjellevannet is the reason why Skien came to be established, as the watershed was an important venue for trade and, in time, industry . Skien locks are the gateway to the Telemark Canal . The path starts at Bakkestranda, which is also one of Skien’s green treasures and boasts many restored wooden buildings . Selected features on the path – at Bakkestranda and the fountains in Bryggevannet lake – are illuminated in the evenings as part of the ‘Morild’ lighting project .

BakkestrandaBakkestranda, on the outskirts of the city centre, is a beautiful park area with a sandy beach and playground . Here you will find a sculpture of The Rat-Wife, a character from Henrik Ibsen’s play Little Eyolf . The sculpture was created by Marit Benthe Norheim and 2318 pupils from Skien schools . It is made of concrete and decorated with porcelain eyes made by the pupils . Inside is a slide, which is popular with the tiny tots!

Beautiful Skien by night‘Morild’ – literally biolumines-cence – is the name of Skien’s lighting project, which has illu-minated 12 important landmarks and evocative areas along the city’s two lakes .

Snøhetta AS is the firm of architects behind the concept . The starting point was inter-preting Skien’s distinctive city history as a trading centre with links to inland Telemark and the wider world via the Telemark Canal .

Skien is Norway’s only canal city and the only city in Norway with locks at its heart.

We are proud of our beautiful canal, which was cut out of the rock 150 years ago . The first section, between Norsjø and Skien, opened for regular operations in 1861 . The section from Skien to Dalen was completed in 1892 . The canal was considered an ‘Eight Wonder’ in Europe .

The Telemark Canal is one of the world’s most beautiful canals, and remains much as it was in the 19th century . The canal is Norway’s only canal system that connects with the sea . It extends for 105 km from Grenland’s beautiful coast to the foot of the Hardangervidda mountain plateau . With the help of eight locks and a total of 18 lock chambers, boats are lifted to a height of 72 m above sea level .

The first lock system is in the centre of Skien, and the next is Løveid locks at Skotfoss . Departing from Hjellebrygga jetty in Skien, the boats MS Victoria and

MS Henrik Ibsen travel through the locks from Skien to Dalen . MS Skarfos is also based at Hjellebrygga and, as well as the scheduled services, the canal boats also host regular evening and lock cruises . Skien holds an annual ‘Canal Week’ to mark the start of the season and celebrate the Telemark Canal . The season runs from mid-May to the end of September .

Many leisure craft also use the canal . The Telemark Canal is an excellent starting point for paddling, hiking and cycling . There are several footpaths along the canal, the most popular being ‘Around Bryggevannet’ in the centre . For more information, contact Skien service centre/tourist information or go to: www.telemarkskanalen.nowww.visittelemark.no

Telemark Museum comprises nine sites, two of which are in Skien: the Henrik Ibsen Museum and Brekkeparken with Brekke Museum .

Brekkeparken is within walking distance of the centre at the city’s highest point and boasts magnificent views . The entrance is in Hans Hoells gate . The impressive house at Søndre Brekke has been restored to Empire Style, as it is believed to have been when cabinet minister Niels Aall and his family lived here from 1810-1830 . Aall was Minister for Trade at the time when the

Norwegian Constitution came into being, and many important decisions were made at Søndre Brekke .

In sharp contrast to the sumptuous upper-class style of the main building, Brekkeparken displays farm buildings from all over Telemark, creating the setting for a beautiful open-air museum . Brekkeparken and the romantic garden are in full bloom throughout the summer season . There are plenty of places to sit down: on a bench, on the grass or on the barn bridge . The park also contains a popular playground .

Rock carvingsThese provide unique glimpses of a long-lost culture . There are several fantastic sites with rock carvings at Gjerpen in Skien . The rock carvings at the Fossum site were among the first to be discovered in Norway, and comprise ships, soles of the feet and sun symbols . They are assumed to date from the early Bronze Age, so are approx . 2800 years old . The Fossum site is located in a small wood by the tree-lined approach to Fossum Manor . The Bergheim, Løberg and Fossum sites are open to visitors in the period from May to October . For the best impression of the figures, explore the sites by torchlight in the evening . For more information, see www.skien.kommune.no/helleristninger

The Iron Age farm at ÅrhusÅrhus farm has a copy of a typical house from the Iron Age, built on the old stave principle . Århus was chosen as the location for the Iron Age house because the area is bursting with history . There are Bronze Age rock carvings, Roman burial mounds, and remains from the age of migration, as well as ‘oldtidsveg’, which follows an ancient route . Århus farm is open to visitors and is owned by Telemark Landbruksselskap . There is also a large herb garden and a collection of rocks from Grenland, as well as the starting point of a cultural trail of approx . 4 km, which is ideal for cycling . The trail passes Fossum Jernverk, where iron was made for almost 330 years, and the Henrik Ibsen Museum in at the playwright’s childhood home .

KapitelbergetAt Kapitelberget you can see the ruins of an old crypt church dating from the Middle Ages . This is the foremost relic of the mighty Dag dynasty that once held sway in Grenland . The church was originally a private chapel, built by Dag Eilivsson in the 12th century . The ruins were discovered in 1783, but the church was not restored until the end of the 20th century .

The church is one of only two examples in Norway of a church with a crypt . It is likely that Dag had seen this kind of church in Ireland, on his voyage with King Magnus . The crypt beneath the church floor was probably to hold masses for the dead and to store holy relics . Dag probably took part in Sigurd Jorsalfar’s journey to the Holy Land, and is likely to have brought back a relic .

Hakastein kulturminneparkThe cultural monument park, which opened in May 2015, is part of the ‘Around Hjellevannet lake’ walk . A series of finds from archaeological excavations close to Telemark Hospital revealed this as the site of Norway’s earliest church building, at Faret .

The building itself was a post church and was probably erected in the first half of the 11th century . Traces of Viking-era cremation graves, Christian burial places, cooking pits and the outlines of a large farm have also been found .

Geology1500 million years of geological history in Skien

Skien is characterised by its great geological diversity . A hike across the Skien-Gjerpensdal valley is a journey through 1500 million years of geological history .

The ancient bedrock west and north-west of the city centre is the oldest part of the geology of Southern Norway, with remains of ancient mountain chains that once towered over the landscape . It is in these rock types that we find the iron deposits that formed the basis of the ironworks at Fossum .

Further west we encounter limestone ridges – more than 400 million years old and once the seabed in a tropical sea that teemed with life . The lime comes from the residues of the shells of the animals who lived there .

The crypt church at Kapitalberget was built on the remains of a coral reef in this sea . Heading east towards Siljan, we encounter completely different rock types, evidence of volcanic activity almost 300 million years ago, when a giant continent started to break up right here . Fertile basalt alternates with more barren syenite, with something similar to larvikite in the Svanstul area .

Signs of the earliest part of the geology – millions of years of ice age – can be seen throughout Skien . The combination of limestone, basalts and much younger clay and sand has produced the municipality’s rich agricultural soil .

Henrik Ibsen is one of the world’s greatest playwrights . His early years in Skien provided a rich source of inspiration for his writing . Henrik Ibsen was born in Skien on 20 March 1828 . His father, Knud Ibsen, was a merchant and distillery owner, and for many years was one of Skien’s biggest taxpayers . In 1883, Knud Ibsen bought Venstøp farm as a summer home for the family . Just two years later, he lost both his fortune and his livelihood, and the family moved from the city to Venstøp on a full-time basis . Henrik lived there from the age of seven until after he was confirmed . Venstøp is now a museum (see p . ) . At the age of 15, Henrik left Skien for Grimstad, where he was apprenticed to a pharmacist .

Each year, Skien celebrates Henrik Ibsen’s birthday with various events and experiences in the days around 20 March . Among other things, children from the city’s kindergartens join together for a special birthday party .

Skien municipality presents the annual Norwegian Ibsen Award to a playwright whose adaptation of an Ibsen play has been staged in the last year . An international Ibsen Conference is also organised each year and international Ibsen Scholarships are awarded . www.ibsenawards.comwww.skien.kommune.no/henrikibsen

In Ibsen’s footstepsWhen Henrik Ibsen was a child, Skien was a lively trading centre with a population of around 3000 . Both Ibsen’s parents came from patrician families belonging to Skien’s mercantile elite .

A big fire in 1886 left the town centre in ruins, and the Skien that had made such an impression on Henrik as a child was lost . The only surviving authentic built environment from Ibsen’s time is found in the Snipetorp area . This is where he lived in the period immediately before leaving the city . Nevertheless, traces of Henrik Ibsen can be found across the city, from the centre to Venstøp . Skien municipality has produced the brochure Ibsen in Skien, which you can download or obtain free of charge from the Skien service centre/tourist information . Telemark museum and Skien municipality have produced the Henrik Ibsen museum app, which you can download from App Store .

Ibsen products are available to buy at several locations in Skien and at the Henrik Ibsen Museum at Venstøp .www.skien.kommune.no/henrikibsen

Michaelshulen, St Michael’s Cave St Michael’s Cave, also known as the Church of St Michael, is a mountain cave in the steep rock face on the east side of Norsjø lake . It is located in the middle of a rock wall, approx . 30 km above Norsjø and clearly visible from the lake . In its time, the cave is said to have boasted an entrance hall, nave, choir and altar, and in Catholic times was dedicated to St Michael the Archangel . Masses continued to be held here after the Reformation, and the cave was an important place of pilgrimage . There are 20 known Churches of St Michael in Norway .

The cave is accessible by boat and on foot, but getting there is challenging . Arriving by boat, you can moor directly beneath the cave . A steep path with both steps and a handrail leads up from the lake to the cave . If you prefer to come by land, follow the signs to Pollen from the centre of Skotfoss .
