Stordal
0
The village of Stordal is small in terms of population, but enormous in terms of its impact on Norwegian furniture production. In fact, Stordal is still being referred to as the ‘furniture village’, even though its furniture manufacturing peaked in 1992, when 440 furniture makers were working here. Which is pretty impressive for a village with a population of only one thousand people. If you ever visit the village, you should have a look at the Rose Church to admire its architecture and unique adornments. For many years the villagers have invested heavily in their youngest population. They refer to themselves as ‘a community for kids’ – because they feel that Stordal can offer a wide variety of activities for children and young people – and because they want to commit to making Stordal an ever-better place to grow up.
