Kjeller

Kjeller has served as an aviation centre in Akershus since the early 20th century. Set on the low, cultivated Romerike plain northeast of Oslo, it lies near the Nitelva, which joins the Glomma at nearby Lillestrøm. Kjeller Airport opened in 1912 as a military airfield and established aviation as a lasting part of the district’s identity. The area later became an important Norwegian research environment, with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment and the Institute for Energy Technology based here. Kjeller is closely connected to urban Lillestrøm and the wider Oslo region rather than standing apart as an old town.
