Røros Kirke. Roros church.
this slideshow shows the church in the small mining town Røros ( Roros ) in Norway. It is one of the biggest wooden churches in Norway, and it can be seen from almost everywhere in the town. Finished 1780, and built by the mining company as a gift to the citizens and miners.
It´s also called The Ziir , which the german enginiours called it, and means ornament or pride in this setting. Røros kirke , ferdig 1780, er en av landets største trekirker. Kirka, eller kirketårnet, kan sees så og si fra over alt i byen. Røros er et såkalt UNESCO verdensarv sted, på grunn av sine små og pittoreske hus, og kirka, Bergstadens Ziir som de tyske ingeniørene kalte den.
The mines was shut down in the 1960´s and the town is now an UNESCO world heritage site. This pittoresque old town with all the old wooden houses is really worth a visit. ( Tip: Take the train from Trondheim :-)
= WALKAROUND; ROROS, NORWAY
I am visiting Røros in Sør Trøndelag county of Norway. My travel tip for you: if you are thinking to go to Norway, you cannot leave Røros behind. It is impossible. You have to set up your destination to this town for at least one day. Probably two.
Take a slow walk on the streets and see norwegian heritage from 1600s. Visit Røros Museum and figure out why the city is here on the first place. See the beauty of Unesco's World Heritage.
Visit local galleries and say hello to the artists who memorizes Røros in their own way. Go to church and pay for your coffee in the amazing coffee shops with free WiFi and nicest people.
Welcome to Røros! Welcome to Norway!

Roros, Norway - Church Bells - Sept. 10, 2013

Røros, Norway 2009
This is a video I made from various snippets I filmed during a day trip to Røros in Sør-Trøndelag in central Norway this summer. Various street scenes, some interiors from the old wooden houses. The beautiful Røros church is also in the video, but unfortunately only from the outside as it is currently closed for some much-needed restorations of the interior. It will reopen in 2010. In the churchyard you can see among many others the grave of the great author Johan Falkberget.

Røros, Norway - Copper and Røros - Part 1
Norwegian Legacy - Episode 09: Røros
A visit to the UNESCO village of Røros, famous for it's success in the mining of copper for centuries.
I apologise for the bad audio quality in this specific video. There was a lot of wind and noise and, due to lack of equipment and time to do a proper voice-over, this was the best achievable quality. I hope it doesn't annoy anyone. Thanks for watching!

Røros i desember
You cannot live in Norway without visiting one of the most distinctive places - Røros, the old mining town up in the mountains near the Swedish border, around 4-500 km north of Oslo. We went there for a weekend in the beginning of December 2011. It was of course too short. We barely scraped the surface and we need to go back, but this is some impressions...

Røros Norway - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The mining town of Røros is sometimes called Bergstaden which means the mining town due to its historical notoriety for copper mining. It is one of two towns in Norway that were historically designated mining towns, along with the silver-town of Kongsberg. The modern-day inhabitants of Røros still work and live in the characteristic 17th and 18th century buildings which have led to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. Røros has about 80 wooden houses, most of them standing around courtyards. Many retain their dark pitch-log facades, giving the town a medieval appearance
