Claude Monet visited in early 1895. During his stay he painted several views of the town and the surrounding landscape, with the mountain ridge
Kolsås featuring in many of the paintings either in the background or as the primary subject. Perhaps the most well known of the paintings from this visit is 'Sandviken Village in Snow' which features the Løkke bridge in the foreground with Kolsås in the background. The bridge still stands in Sandvika. ==Gallery==
