Ingierstrand bad, Seaside recreational complex in Oppegård, Norway.
Ingierstrand bad is a swimming complex along the Bunnefjord in Oppegård, with a restaurant, dance floor, changing rooms, diving tower, and water slide. The site sits directly on the shore and combines bathing facilities with social gathering spaces.
The complex was built in 1933 by architects Ole Lind Schistad and Eivind Moestue, who designed it using functionalist principles. Since its opening, it has served as a popular gathering spot for swimming and relaxation in the region.
The place reflects the Norwegian passion for outdoor swimming, where generations gather during summer months. The social rhythm of the beach brings the community together through simple pleasures of bathing and sharing meals.
The site is best visited during the warm months when facilities are open and weather invites swimming. Visitors should arrive early to secure convenient parking near the shore.
A private pathway leads to a separate diving tower, offering visitors a quieter swimming experience away from the main crowds. This hidden route merges the clean lines of modern architecture with the raw fjord landscape.
