Sollia Krigshistoriske Museum
About This Museum
People don't just come to Sollia for the stunning Norwegian scenery; they come to touch a piece of living history, to understand the profound impact of World War II on this quiet, resilient community. Tucked away near Atnbrua, this isn't a cold, impersonal institution but a deeply personal endeavor, often feeling more like a conversation with the past. You'll find yourself standing inches from a perfectly restored German staff car, its tires still looking ready for a mountain track, and examining the carefully mended uniforms worn by local resistance fighters. It’s an intimate and surprisingly moving experience that connects you directly to the stories of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
Collection Highlights
The collection is anchored by an incredibly well-preserved German Horch command car, but it's the small personal items—a hidden radio, diaries, and handmade tools for survival—that truly captivate. One of the most poignant exhibits details the local sabotage operations against the Nazi occupation forces.
Visitor Information
It's located on a farmstead at Lyngstadveien 32, so you get that authentic rural Norway feel. Given its intimate size and passionate caretakers, it's always a good idea to check their opening hours online before you make the trip.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in traditional Norwegian log buildings—rustic, wooden structures that look like they've always been part of the landscape, making the history within feel even more immediate and grounded.
