Røstvangen Mines

[1] The mining operations at the Røstvangen ore field were begun in 1904 and ran continuously until 1921, when the company went bankrupt.

[4] The mines were equipped with a laundry, post office, bakery, meeting hall, residential buildings, barracks, shops, and even a movie theater.

The defunct Eidsfossen Hydroelectric Power Station was originally built to supply electricity to the Røstvangen Mines.

Each bucket could hold over 300 kg of ore, and almost 30 people worked daily on the cableway.

After the ore was taken to Tynset, it was transported to Trondheim on the Røros Line and then sent for processing abroad by ship.
