Bjølsen Valsemølle, Industrial heritage site in Sagene, Norway

The Bjølsen Valsemølle facility stands on the east bank of Akerselva River, containing multiple concrete silos and processing buildings for grain production.

Founded in 1884 by Gustav Martinsen and Ole Amundsen, the mill began as a grain trading company before expanding through acquisitions of nearby milling facilities.

The mill represents the continuation of a milling tradition along Akerselva that dates back to 1220 when Hovedøyklosteret first processed grain in this location.

The facility remains operational today under Lantmännen Cerealia, manufacturing Regal flour products and maintaining modern grain processing capabilities throughout its premises.

From 1918 to 1967, the mill utilized dedicated trams called 'korntrikken' to transport grain from Oslo harbor to its processing facilities.
