Drolsum, Rural area in Modum, Norway

Located west of Tyrifjorden lake, Drolsum extends from the Henåa river to Vikersund through forests and agricultural properties in eastern Norway.

The earliest record of Drolsum appears in a medieval document from February 1456, mentioning property sales in southern Drolshamar region.

Rud church, constructed as a timber-framed building in 1917, provides religious services for 160 people and underwent renovation after a fire in 1969.

The village connects to other areas via Riksvei 350 road and Drolsum station on the Randsfjord railway line, facilitating transportation for residents.

Ole Witloch from Drolsum discovered cobalt deposits that led to establishing the Royal Modum Blue Factory, advancing Norwegian industrial development.
