Nedre Foss Mølle

The year is 1856. On the other side of the river you see the location of Nedre foss Kornmølle (mill). Grain is milled there using the currents in the river. Production has been going on for close to six hundred years, and perhaps even longer.

It was exactly here that the mill business along the Akerselva began, which became important for the town. You can say that it is the start of industrialization, even if the business started long before the sawmills came into operation. You can get all the way up to the mill by boat, since Nedre foss is the lowest waterfall in Akerselva.
