A famous location in the Middle Earth setting created by J.R.R. Tolkien, Rivendell was an enchanted refuge of the immortal Elves. Based on the author’s hikes through a real-life valley in Switzerland, it was a place of beauty and serenity that was brought to life in the blockbuster film adaptations by Peter Jackson. New Line Productions used Japanese temples and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright as inspiration for Elven architecture, creating a magic atmosphere that captivated a generation of fans. That achievement is celebrated by the New Zealand Mint’s 2022 Niue Lord of the Rings Rivendell 1/4 oz Gold Coin.

History

Rivendell is inspired by the Lauterbrunnental valley in Switzerland, where J.R.R. Tolkien hiked in 1911, and its film incarnation was filmed in the idyllic Kaitoke Regional Park, a nature preserve in Upper Hutt, New Zealand. The filming location’s clear waters and lush green canopy conveyed the iconic location’s magical serenity and beauty, bringing to life the vivid descriptions Tolkien provided on the page and making an unforgettable impression on a new generation ofLord of the Ringsfans for a new century.
