Mjøsa, Lake in Hamar region, Norway.

Lake Mjøsa extends 117 kilometers through southeastern Norway, reaching depths of 449 meters and covering an area of 368 square kilometers.

The medieval citadel Mjøskastellet, constructed by King Haakon IV in the 13th century, stands on Steinsholmen island within the lake.

Towns along the lake banks preserve archaeological sites from the Stone Age, connecting present communities to ancient Nordic settlements.

The lake provides drinking water to municipalities including Hamar and Lillehammer through multiple treatment plants and waterworks systems.

Twenty fish species inhabit the lake, including the hundertrout, which can grow to weights exceeding 20 kilograms.
