Svorkmo[3] is a village in Orkland Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway.

It is situated in the Orkdalen valley along the river Orkla about 60 kilometres (37 mi) west-southwest of the city of Trondheim.

For about 100 years beginning in the 17th century, Svorkmo was an industrial centre of major importance.

Many people worked in the smelting works and the industry formed the base of one of Norway's largest non-city communities, with hotels, bakeries, saw mills, and the Svorkmo Station (a railway station which still exists, though now only as a museum).

[4] Today Svorkmo is no more than a small village with few facilities (little more than a supermarket and a campsite) and the people who live there work elsewhere.
