~~ Uniqueness, culture, atmosphere ~~
Ivaregga is located in a cultural landscape that stretches continuously from Ivaregga to beyond the church. The domiciliations in Gata and up by the church are built on terraces in the landscape, and the tight clusters of houses were founded in connection with the operations of the smelting-house. This gives the area a distinctive stamp, and it is of *national value.
The history of Ivaregga goes back to the end of 1600s, when the site became cleared. It was for a long time a cottage allotment under Røros copper works.
