About Strømsgodset
Where to stay in Strømsgodset
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Drammen carries the beds. Strømsgodset was its own municipality once and keeps a district's shape inside the city, but it carries no hotel quarter, so a search across Drammen turns up Bragernes, Strømsø, Fjell and the other districts instead. That shapes the decision.
A stay in Drammen puts Strømsgodset within the same municipal boundary that swallowed it, so the district is reached from a bed elsewhere rather than slept in.
About Strømsgodset
What are the main landmarks in Strømsgodset?
Drammen's register skips this district entirely. Strømsgodset carries no monument, church or museum in the record that covers it, which leaves the district's interest in what it used to be rather than in what stands on it. History fills that gap.
A visitor who cares that a Norwegian municipality can vanish into a city and keep its name will find Strømsgodset more interesting than the average Drammen address, and one who wants buildings will keep to the rest of Drammen.
What is the history of Strømsgodset?
It governed itself once. Strømsgodset was a municipality of its own in Vestfold county before the boundary changes that folded it into Drammen, and the name survived that merger as the label for one part of the enlarged city. The unit went; the name stayed.
What had been a separate administration in Norway became a district address, and Strømsgodset reads on a Drammen map as an older place absorbed rather than as a quarter drawn up from nothing.
Where is Strømsgodset?
Drammen encloses it. Strømsgodset keeps the outline of a former Vestfold county municipality, drawn instead inside the boundary of the Norwegian city that absorbed it.
