Holmestrand

Beyond Drammen there are two routes - either on a road hugging the coast of the Drammensfjord or on the main road running inland - to Sande, on the Sandebukt. From here the road continues down the west side of the Sandebukt to Holmestrand (pop. 9,000), which has an aluminum plant. The church (1674), on a Y-shaped plan, has stained glass by Per Vigeland (1957). Also of interest is the Holmestrand Museum (history of the town; ships and the sea, etc.).
