Hamar
Few places in Innlandet have a history as closely tied to Lake Mjøsa as Hamar. Set on the eastern shore of Norway’s largest lake, the town developed around an important inland water route linking communities across the region. Modern Hamar was founded in 1849, yet its earlier role as a medieval bishopric is preserved at Domkirkeodden, where the ruins of Hamar Cathedral are protected by the glass Hamardomen structure. Hamar also entered international sporting history when Vikingskipet hosted speed skating during the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics. The arena’s sweeping, upturned roof remains one of the city’s best-known landmarks.
