Meetingroom Kølbua

Devoldfabrikken in Langevåg isn't just steeped in vibrant history; it's where the present vibrantly comes to life. We’re offering spaces that are not just perfect, but inspiring for meetings, courses, and conferences.

Kølbua

Right at the very end of the quay sits Kølbua, originally built to store coal. Fuel was essential for heating water and generating steam, thus crucial for operating the factory. With a view of the fjord, an open fireplace, and multiple exits leading to the dock, quay, and shopping street, this charming house sets a creative frame for meetings and gatherings.

Explore the story

The story behind the textile adventure Devold takes us all the way back to 1853. That's when the visionary entrepreneur Ole Andreas Devold started the production of Devold, which has kept both young and old warm for generations. The Devold Factory has been awarded the Olav's Rose (A quality label for experience offerings based on Norwegian cultural heritage) for its experiences that convey Norwegian cultural heritage. DEVOLD MUSEUM Norway's oldest knitwear producer with 170 years of industrial history. POWER STATION The Devold Factory has its own power station and was one of Norway's first power plants. Let yourself be inspired by historical innovation that still powers the factory.
