Grünerbroa

The bridge you are standing on now is the oldest bridge connection between the eastedge and westedge. Already during the dispute between the Birkebeinerene and the Baglerne at the beginning of the 13th century, a bridge existed here. Since then, the bridge connection has been destroyed twice in war.

The bridge connection is named after the Grüner family. They owned Kongens mølle (the mill) which you can hear up along the river and Nedre Foss which you see to your right.

Only now, in 1859, do you avoid paying fee here because the municipality becomes the owner of the bridge.
