Sjølingstad Uldvarefabrik

The textile factory contains a power plant, dyeing facility, spinning mill, weaving shop, and finishing area, maintaining original production equipment from 1894.

August Hoven founded the factory in 1894, selling shares at 25 kroner each to raise capital and managed regular operations until 1984.

The museum demonstrates traditional wool manufacturing processes using historical machines, preserving essential techniques of Norwegian textile production through guided tours.

The museum shop operates Tuesday through Friday from 11 AM to 3 PM throughout the year, offering locally produced wool products and textiles.

The facility maintains its original power station and continues manufacturing textile products using documented historical recipes and traditional production methods.
