Brumunddal, settlement in Ringsaker Municipality, Norway
Brumunddal is a small administrative centre and urban area in Ringsaker Municipality located on the shores of Lake Mjøsa. The town has a dense cluster of shops, cafes, and bakeries in central streets and is surrounded by countryside, farms, and forests.
Brumunddal was officially designated as a town in 2010 after long being considered only part of the broader countryside. Since receiving this status, the town has grown steadily in population and development.
The town's name comes from the Brumunda River that flows through it, reflecting its deep connection to the water. Life here is shaped by local traditions where residents gather regularly by the lake and value regional products from nearby farms.
The centre is easily walkable, with paths along the Brumunda River leading to Mjøsparken. The surrounding hills and mountains offer marked walking trails that are accessible for exploration year-round.
Mjøstårnet, the world's tallest wooden building with 18 floors, stands in the town and showcases modern architecture made from local materials. A famous Norwegian frozen pizza brand originated from a woman born in Brumunddal.
