Myrens Verksted

Myrens Verksted is an industrial area in Norway on the east side of the Akerselva river, situated between the bridges Bentsebrua and Vøyenbrua in the southwest part of Torshov, in what is today the Sagene Borough of Oslo.

Production started in this area in 1854 based on Øvre Foss Mekaniske verksted[clarification needed] established in 1848 by the brothers Jens and Andreas Jensen.

Myrens Verksted became one of the leading and largest industrial companies in Norway with more than 1,000 employees in 1909.

Industrial production was terminated in 1988 and moved to the Kværner Eureka location in Lier.

The area and its building were sold to what is now Myren Eiendom, and developed into a small cluster for knowledge-based businesses in broadcasting, television production and advertising.
