Kongsberg is a historic mining town located in southeastern Norway, known for its significant role in Norwegian industrial heritage. Founded in 1624 following the discovery of silver deposits, the city was home to the Royal Norwegian Silver Mines, which operated for over 300 years until 1957. The mining history has left an indelible mark on the city's culture and architecture, with several historic buildings and technical monuments preserved from this era.

Today, Kongsberg is a modern industrial center, particularly known for its technology and defense industries. The city maintains strong cultural traditions, evident in its well-preserved historical sites, including the Kongsberg Church, an impressive Baroque building from 1761. The Norwegian Mining Museum and the Norwegian Mint Museum reflect the city's important role in Norway's economic and industrial development.
