On May 2, 2024, King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway visited Kongsberg on the occasion of the town's 400th anniversary. Kongsberg is a historical mining town and municipality in Buskerud county. On 2 May 2024, it has been 400 years since the city of Kongsberg was founded by Christian IV of Denmark and Norway.
Kongsberg (King's Mountain) was developed as a mining city on the basis of the Kongsberg Silver Mines, founded by and named after King Christian IV of Denmark and Norway in 1624.
The Kongsberg Silver Mines closed in 1958 after operating for 334 years. It is today a museum and the city's main tourist attraction. Kongsberg remains the site of the Royal Norwegian Mint (Det Norske Myntverket), which mints Norwegian coins and also produces circulating and collectors' coins for other countries.
Queen Sonja looks both sporty & chic and lovely to see King Harald out and about again.

The Queen looks very stylish and chic. The white pants, fit well, and look splendid with this beautiful red coat. The brooch is a welcome addition. The red and white blouse underneath was a good choice. Her accessories color is good, shoes and clutch.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see the King out and about again. The Queen is very elegant as usual. A beautiful couple :-)
