Kongsvinger is a historic town located in eastern Norway, situated along the Glomma river and close to the Swedish border. The town is dominated by the well-preserved Kongsvinger Fortress (Kongsvinger Festning), which was built in the 17th century to protect the main road between Oslo and Stockholm. The fortress stands as a testament to the town's strategic importance in Norwegian history and continues to be a significant cultural landmark.

The town developed around this military installation and later became an important railway junction. Today, Kongsvinger maintains its historical character while serving as a regional center with a mix of old wooden buildings and modern architecture.

The town has a rich cultural scene, with several historical museums and cultural institutions that preserve and showcase the region's heritage.
