The Oselvaren has had a unique position in the old Os municipality. Oselvaren and Oselvarverkstaden will also be important in putting the new Bjørnafjorden municipality on the map. Oselvarverkstaden wants to have local forces on the team, and therefore invites you to volunteer:
Businesses and private individuals in Bjørnafjorden are proud of the Oselvaren, and would perhaps like to be able to associate their businesses and themselves with this historical cultural treasure – as this boat and craft are.
Askeladden Boat and Irisgården AS have supported the work of Oselvarverkstaden for several years. The support is used for dissemination through film and photography on websites and in social media. Please get in touch if you would like to support our work, we are always open to new partners.
Cinderella
Askeladden’s DNA is based on a thousand years of boat building tradition. Henrik J. Askvik founded the Askeladden adventure in 1911 in the same place where the third generation of Askvik today has its daily work and headquarters. Henrik J. Askvik started by building what is now Norway’s national boat, the Oselvaren, which has traditions going back over a thousand years. Henrik J. Askvik’s sons were later among the very first in Norway to use the new building material glass fiber reinforced polyester in the production of boats in 1957.
Iris farm
The iris factory was completed in 1953 and the name is actually a bit misleading. It was Rundveveriet that built and ran business in the building. Iris was the trademark of Rundveveriet. Today, the functional building at Oselvo is a landmark that contains everything from the Sheriff’s Office to the Vinmonopol. Irisgården is our nearest neighbor and we at Oselvarverkstaden are particularly pleased that the current owner will help support us.
