VISNES KOBBERVERK was in its time the largest and most modern in Northern Europe. The mine was in operation for two periods between 1865-1972 and that 4.2 million tonnes of raw copper were mined, zinc and sulfur. In 1882 it is said that Visnes was «Norway's largest workplace », with almost 1000 workers for the most part. In a few years, the village was transformed into a hectic mining town, with a population of close to 3,000, school, hospital, dairy and shops. VISNES was used in the construction of the famous Statue of Liberty in New York.

There is a nice path though this area. Once a cobbermine, the museum will give you insight in the family life of the miner as well as the mining. The cafeteria is open on sundays. There is a playground and picniktables. And a wonderful view.

They say that the kobber used for the Statue of Liberty actually come from this place. This is now a small but nice park, and the last time I visit there, they also had a kafeteria.

Few know that the Statue of Liberty in New York is made from copper from the old copper mine at Avaldsnes. Today, a smaller replica of the famous statue is in the oceanfront of Visnes.

En vinterdag i 1865 fant en sildefisker fra Jæren en utrolig rik koppererts i Vigsnes. Frem mot 1895 ble Vigsnes Nord-Europas største Kopperverk. Verket stod i sin tid for 70% av Norges kobbereksport. Kobberminene var i drift i perioden 1865-1972. Visneskobberet ble blant annet benyttet som materiale i Statue of Liberty i New York. På Visnes er det mulighet for å få hilse på Karmøys egne frihetsstatue, som er en flott og mindre kopi og som står like ved ”Fransahagen”, herskapshagen til verkets første direktør Charles de France. I dag kan du få et innblikk i det aktive Visnes Gruvemuseet, som har utstilling i forskjellige bygninger, der du finner historien om det særegne gruvesamfunnet som i mange år var av landets rikeste og mest moderne samfunn. Her kan du besøke gruvemuseet, administrasjonsbygningen, smeltehytta, lysthuset, arbeiderboligen og Svennhuset. Besøk museet og opplev 107 år med spennende historie, fortalt gjennom dyktige guider, utstilling og 2000 bilder. Museet befinner seg i billedlige omgivelser med ride- og spaserstier i Fransehagen og en interessant lekeplass for barn.
