Ingierstrand
Ingierstrand Baths, which opened in 1933, quickly became a popular place of recreation for the people of Oslo. The bathroom was designed by architects Eyvind Moestue and Ole Lind Schistad, and is an icon of Norwegian functionalist architecture. The facility had a diving tower, the dressing pavilion, open-air dining, a restaurant, an administration building and the central kiosk.
In the 1930s, the life of the bathers was characterized by a new interest in outdoor life and recreation. People had more free time, and the fjord became a popular place for leisure activities. Ingierstrand bath attracted many visitors, and in the record year 1946, the bath had 126,000 paying guests. A steamboat had been set up from the center of Oslo that ran shuttle traffic throughout the summer season.
The restaurant at Ingierstrand bad was an important social gathering point, where concerts, revues and dance evenings were arranged. The iconic kiosk sold ice cream, which was a novelty for many at the time.
Today, Ingierstrand Restaurant is run as a rental and function room during the summer months.

The beach resort Vollen dates back to the Viking Age. In Sjøvollbukta a little north of Vollen center, a cargo ship from the 13th century wa dug out of the mud. Vollen has always been associated with fishing and shipping, hunting and hunters. Vollen was the shipping port for Dikemark ironworks in the 18th century, later ships exported ice blocks, granite blocks and garden products to the cities in Europe.
Because of calcareous soil, favorable climate and good market in the capital, horticulture became very widespread from the 1860s to 70s.
Vollen has a rich ship building tradition. Christian Jensen started his boat yard in 1898 and thus continued the tradition from Søren Gudmundsen, who had built sharp sailors in Vollen from approx. 1870, and the contemporary and very skilled utility boat builder Hans Breskehaugen. In 1905, engineer Johan Anker and Christian Jensen joined the company, and a number of well-known regatta boats came from Anker & Jensens Baatbyggeri a/s. In 1915, the teams divorced, and in 1916–17 the polar ship «Maud» was built for Roald Amundsen at Arnestad Wooden Shipyard, which Christian Jensen had established. Maudbukta has become a geographical and historical term in Vollen. The boat building for Johan Anker existed until the 1950s. Learn more about the coastal culture at the Oslofjord Museum in Vollen.
