Yesterday my mother visited the bank and was offered coffee and cake.
Last night a show of fireworks looked impressive from my window - all in honor of the bank now celebrating 150 years.
From the bank's website:
Around 200 years ago in the nearby community of Rygge, a granary (kornmagasin in Norwegian) was established.
Later, in 1857, based on the value of the oats and the barley in that granary, a bank was established, helping local farmers with loans to buy more seeds and thus helping them enter the era of "money management".
