About

Kjerringøy Old Trading Post is idyllically situated at beautiful Kjerringøy and is well-known for, amongst other things, the filming of Knut Hamsun’s novels. The 15 authentic buildings at this traditional North Norwegian trading post are exceptionally well kept.

Here you can walk through the old buildings with their distinctive and authentic atmosphere, buy sweets in the store, or take part in many other activities during the summer season. A 20 minute AV-show recounts the history of the trading post. Café, museum shop, old-fashioned store, guided tours. The service building has been adapted to suit wheelchair users. Advance booking for visits after hours or off-season, different prices apply. Please contact us.
