You are now standing by one of the oldest military training areas in Norway, Lilleplassen. Lilleplassen was established in 1740 as part of the larger military facility located here at Gardermoen. At the time it served as training area for the cavalry.

Since then Gardermoen developed into a melting pot of serving military personel, travellers, local civilians, hotels, businesses, bakeries, cinemas and residential areas.

The establishment of Oslo Airport in 1997 marked the end of 250 years og military activity at Gardermoen. The historical buildings surrounding you are a collection of buildings from the area moved here in 1997.
