About Festiviteten
The original building has a history dating back to 1793 as a private residence, and after almost 100 years it was rebuilt and inaugurated as a party and assembly hall in 1874. After nearly 140 years as a party and assembly hall, theater, town hall and room for numerous cultural events, it has with impressive work given new life as Gjenbrukshuset Festiviteten, rehabilitated as much as possible with recycled materials and furniture.
One of Larvik's honorary citizens Ingvar Ambjørnsen grew up on the slopes behind Festiviteten, and the cafe "Ellings" is named after one of the novel characters Elling in one of Ambjørnsen's books.
Festiviteten, as it appears today, was officially opened for Larvik's 350th city anniversary in September 2021.
