Atlungstad Distillery, Industrial distillery and museum in Stange Municipality, Norway.
Atlungstad Distillery is a spirits production site in Stange Municipality housed in red brick buildings from the 1800s. The facility contains distillation equipment, fermentation tanks, and a tall factory chimney that marks the industrial character of this location.
The distillery was founded in 1855 by local farmers as a cooperative project and replaced several smaller operations across Hedmark. Since then it has produced aquavit without stopping, representing a continuous thread in Norway's industrial story.
The distillery shows how aquavit fits into local life and celebrations in this region. Visitors can learn how this spirit is flavored with herbs and spices, and why it matters during Norwegian gatherings and holidays.
The site is best reached by bicycle or car following signs to Sandvikavegen 214 in Ottestad. Guided tours operate mainly during warmer months, so plan your visit to fit this seasonal schedule.
The distillery is one of few places in Scandinavia where you can watch traditional aquavit production happen right before you. Visitors get to see methods that have barely changed over the past 150 years or more.
