Næs Ironworks, located in Holt, Tvedestrand municipality, was a blast furnace company that operated from 1665 to 1959. It began under the name Baaseland Værk and consisted of a blast furnace, an iron foundry, and a forge located a kilometer away. In 1738, the factories were merged at Næs and the company was renamed Næs Ironworks.
Establishment of Næs Ironworks Museum
In 1966, the forge, the cast steel workshop, and the steel factory of Næs Ironworks, including the tools and machines present, were classified as a national monument. The company Jacob Aall & Søn made the buildings available for use as a museum, now known as the Næs Ironworks Museum.
