Heistadmoen, Military training facility in Kongsberg, Norway

Heistadmoen extends across 7,028 decares of land, featuring multiple training zones, shooting ranges, and dedicated infrastructure for military exercises and instruction.

The Norwegian Army established Heistadmoen in 1909 as headquarters for the Telemark infantry regiment, replacing the smaller Graatenmoen training grounds.

The facility contains four protected depot buildings from 1909-1910, recognized by Norwegian cultural authorities for their military architectural significance.

The base maintains 40 operational buildings and serves as the central command for Telemark and Buskerud Home Guard District with 45 personnel.

The training grounds connect directly to Hengsvann shooting area, creating a combined military practice zone of 41,028 decares in the Norwegian wilderness.
