Since the 10th century, Austrått has been the residence for many noblemen, noblewomen, and officials who played a significant role in Norwegian history. In historical records, Austrått can also be found written as ''Østråt'', ''Østeraat'', ''Østeraad'', ''Austaat'', and ''Austråt.'' The layout of the manor as it stands today is attributed to chancellor Ove Bjelke, for whom construction was completed around 1656. The manor house burned in 1916. Restoration was begun in the 1920s and completed in 1961. The manor house was previously part of a larger property, but the land is now independent from the manor house. The Norwegian state owns the manor house, which is administered by Nordenfjeldske Kunstindustrimuseum in Trondheim. The manor is open for public tours from June until August.

Kvikne Copper Works
The Kvikne Copper Works at Kvikne in Hedmark, Norway were operated from 1630, and were the largest copper works in Norway in the mid-17th century. The ore discovery was reported in 1629.

In 1789 the mines were largely damaged by the flooding disaster Storofsen, and this virtually ended the operation of the mines. During the first 150 years of operation about 6,960 tons of refined copper Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from la, cuprum) and atomic number 29.
