Skjærstad Herring Oil Factory
The only completely preserved herring oil factory from the early 1900s in Norway.
The herring oil factory from 1922 was small but with state-of-the-art technical solutions for its times, driven by a steam engine of 17hp. Skjærstad is the only fully preserved herring oil factory in Norway from this period. Designed by engineer Agnar Kaarbø, it was only operative for six years and is now a monument of national technical-industrial heritage.
