Feiring, Norway

In the 17th century about 20 copper-mines were set up to the north and north-west of the church, with the smelting works by Flesvikelva.

The ironworks sites and the remains of the smelter have been restored and Eidsvoll Historical Society has erected information-posts around the work area.

One can still see the mile-marker by Norwegian National Road 33, which indicates the border between Østre Toten and Eidsvoll municipalities.

The border signpost between Feiring and Eidsvoll has been removed, so that visitors no longer know when they are driving into the heartlands of Romerike.
