Porsgrunn

Porsgrunn has served as a port and trading centre in Telemark since the 17th century. The Porsgrunn River runs through the town towards the Frierfjord, placing it in the Grenland urban area of southeastern Norway. Maritime trade and industry have long shaped local life: the Herøya industrial area is close by, while Porsgrunds Porselænsfabrik, founded in 1885, continues a local tradition of porcelain production. Granted town status in 1842, Porsgrunn today combines a working riverfront with shops, public spaces and cultural venues. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Telemark.
