The Fredriksvern shipyard

Inside the walls of Fredriksvern shipyard you will find Jørn Lier Horst's writing room, where many of the stories about Wisting are written. Fredriksvern was the Norwegian Navy's first main station in Norway, begun in 1750 and named after King Frederik the fifth. The station had extensive fortifications, moats and many buildings. Most of it was completed in 1758, and of the original buildings, among others, the guardhouse, the commandant's residence, the gunpowder house and the galley sheds still remains. Today, the Norwegian Highway patrol have their national headquarters here, and you can still hear sirens when young police recruits go out on training tours. Down by the ocher-yellow Galleys you will also find the escape room called "Blindgang". This is a fun game based on the Wisting novel "Ordeal". Are you good at cracking codes and solving puzzles? Test your knowledge and see if you can find the decisive clues that lead to a breakthrough in the case, and to praise from your investigative colleagues.
