Røros Copper Works

The Røros church is a Røros landmark and its unusual shape and decor makes it instantly recognizable as a symbol for Røros. The building was completed in 1784 as the first masonry construction among Norway's octagonal churches. The mining company paid for the construction work. Sør-Fron and Vang churches are among the notable later buildings influenced by Røros. With some 1600 seats it is one of the largest churches in Norway, behind Kongsberg Church (also in a mining town) and Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim. Originally called "Bergstadens Ziir" which can be translated as "Adornment (or jewel) of the Mining town". Also nicknamed "Cathedral of the Mountain".

A largely untouched area most of which is protected as a national park. Most of the area is above the forest line, but the landscape is gentle partly like plateau. West of Røros between road 3 and the two railway lines. Wild reindeer roam the area.
