Terningmoen, Military training facility and heritage site in Elverum, Norway.
Terningmoen is a military base and heritage site in Elverum that spreads across sandy soil and pine forests. The grounds contain multiple barracks, training areas, and specialized military facilities located near the Glomma River.
The site was founded in 1879 as a training ground for the Oesterdalen Battalion and received major expansions during World War II. Intensive development continued in the post-war years.
The twelve preserved soldier barracks are arranged in rows and show how military buildings looked in Norway during the late 1800s. They reflect local building traditions and are part of the region's architectural heritage.
The grounds can be explored on foot with a network of paths connecting different areas throughout the site. Visitors should inquire about access rules before visiting, as this remains an active military base.
The Barfrøstua, built in 1932, uses traditional Oesterdalen loft-building methods and connects military architecture with regional craft techniques. This building shows how local knowledge shaped military structures.
