Sun Mirror Square

Sun Mirror Square is a unique public space in Rjukan that uses large mirrors mounted on the mountainside to reflect sunlight into the town during winter. Because Rjukan lies deep in a valley, it receives little direct sunlight for several months each year. The mirrors track the movement of the sun and direct light onto the town square, creating a warm and bright gathering place even in winter. The project has become one of Rjukan’s most well-known attractions. For travelers, Sun Mirror Square offers a fascinating example of creative engineering and community-focused design.
