World Heritage Process

Rjukan-Notodden Industrial Heritage was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2015, under criteria (ii) and (iv). The management of the site is centralized around the local World Heritage Council led by Vestfold and Telemark county and the three municipalities Tinn: Notodden and Vinje. This enables both legal and financial mechanisms to support stakeholders in conservation, revitalisation and development projects based on the Outstanding Universal Values of the site.
The Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum plays an important part in hosting the two local World Heritage Visitor Centers, disseminating information about the site to both external and local visitors.
The steam ferry DF Ammonia, built in 1929, is one of four steam-powered train ferries in the world.
