About
Eidsvoll 1814 is the Norwegian Constitution museum with Eidsvoll Manor House, where the Norwegian constitution was drafted and debated in 1814. The building is one of the best-known and most historically important buildings in Norway as the arena for the constitutional process in 1814. The finished constitution was dated and signed on May 17, which also became the Norwegian national day. The museum also consists of the Wergeland House visitor center, with an auditorium, exhibition area, café, and shop, as well as an administrative office. The visitor center is named after the Norwegian poet Henrik Wergeland, who grew up in Eidsvoll in the early 19th century, and who played an important role in the establishment of the museum.
