Froland

Few places in Agder have a history as closely tied to ironworking as Froland. This inland municipality lies in the forested valley of the Nidelva, northeast of Arendal, where waterways and woodland long supported local industry. Frolands Verk, founded in 1763, was among the enterprises that shaped the district’s settlement and working life; its surviving industrial landscape remains an important link to that era. Froland Church, a wooden church dating from 1718, adds another historic landmark to the community. Today, roads and rail connections place Froland between the coastal towns of southern Norway and the quieter interior of Agder.
