Brevik

Brevik, a town in Porsgrunn Municipality, Telemark County, boasts a unique charm. Nicknamed one of Norway's best-preserved sailing ship era towns, Brevik's narrow, winding streets are lined with interesting, irregular buildings.  Located where the Eidangerfjorden and Frierfjorden meet, forming the Breviksfjorden, Brevik was once a prominent export center for ice and timber. The town offers a glimpse into the past with its town hall, an old farm estate, and Brevik Church situated on Sylterøya Island.  Beyond its historical appeal, Brevik is a center of industry, including Norway's largest cement factory and mine.
