Aurskog

When choosing a hotel in Aurskog, you can plan your stay around cultural history, pilgrim walks, events or sports. These themes also differ in terms of timing: Aurskogmart’n takes place in August, ice skating is seasonal, while the history of the churches and local area goes back a long way. First consider whether your travel dates are tied to a particular event or whether you would like to choose freely among these interests during your stay.

Churches, history and pilgrim walks

In Aursmoen, Aur Prestegård includes a church and a vicarage dating from the 19th century; its history goes back to the Middle Ages. Aur Prestegård is a meeting place for culture, tradition and experiences, and is part of a pilgrim-walking destination. This connects the historic site with a specific reason to visit for travellers interested in religious and cultural topics.

Aurskog Church is also located on a medieval church site. In Catholic times, the Margareta Well below the church was believed to have healing powers. The cultural landscape around the church and vicarage in Aursmoen is considered nationally worthy of preservation. Together, these places form a distinct historical focus, setting them apart from seasonal leisure activities.

Events, sports and swimming

Aurskogmart’n is an annual August gathering for the local community. The dates and programme vary from year to year. If the market is important to your travel plans, check the specific event dates and programme in advance.

Aursmoen Idrettspark has a multi-purpose sports hall for traditional indoor sports. In winter, a prepared gravel surface there serves as an ice rink. Usage rules and seasonal availability may vary, so it is a good idea to check the latest information when making your plans.

Aurskog-Høland Municipality owns and operates the swimming pool at Aursmoen School. Anyone can bathe and swim there. Check the current opening hours before planning a visit. This lets you consider indoor sports, winter ice skating and swimming as different options without tying them to the same seasonal schedule.
