NILS AARØY

KARMØY ANTHEM: “PÅ HEIMLEG GRUNN”

Come and experience Karmøy – with rocks and skerries protecting us from the raging sea in the

West. With long, silky-smooth, sandy beaches in bays and inlets – and with eternal swells pounding

the coast. Real maritime culture, dramatic ocean, silvery fresh fish and a vibrant heritage – that’s

Karmøy today. With a mix of small hamlets, pleasant shopping centres, historical sights, modern

industry – all jostling cheek-to-jowl with traditional agriculture and active fisheries.

Walk in the footsteps of Harald Fairhair who first united Norway in a single kingdom. Olav’s Church,

the Nordvegen History Centre and the Viking Farm, all at Avaldsnes, invite you to relive

history. Let these princes and kings, with their indentured trells, be your guide. The Church and

History Centre offer majestic views of sheltered Karmsund strait.

Welcome to Karmøy Homeland of the Viking Kings – Norway’s Birthplace

Avaldsnes – Norway’s birthplace

12 13

A historic landscape with views across the narrow strait that in Viking times was known as the North Way – the way north – and the way Norway got its name!

12 13

Avaldsnes – Norway’s oldest royal seat

Harald Fairhair chose this as the site of one of his Royal Farms. The historical remains here reveal ancient facts about the first kings of Norway and the legendary figures who appear so often in sagas and songs. The barons who controlled the vital ”Northern Way” have left impressive works: great burial mounds, tall memorial stones and rich finds. Beside the medieval church is a history centre and, to the East, a reconstruction of a Viking Farm.

Olav’s Church, built by Håkon Håkonsen in about 1250 AD, is a powerful memorial to former greatness.

16

Virgin Mary’s NeedleThe Sagas warn that Doomsday will be upon us if ever the ”sewing needle” touches the church wall. The clergymen of Avaldsnes – under cover of darkness – are said to have chiselled bits off the point and thus saved the world. The gap between the needle and the church wall is presently 9.2 cm.

17

Avaldsnes is one of Norway’s most important areas of cultural history. In order to best preserve the integrity of the church as well as the historical landscape, most of Nordvegen History Centre is located underground. The entrance area symbolizes ’Mime’s Well’, which is the fount of knowledge in Norse mythology.

18

Now is your chance to meet Harald Fairhair, the king who unified Norway and made Avaldsnes the oldest royal seat. Let Harald guide you through 3500 years of local history, during times when Avaldsnes was where Norway and Europe met. Listen to his tales of royal doings, and take the opportunity to meet some of the kings who held court at Avaldsnes, funded by taxation of trading ships plying the Norwegian coast.

Open all yearTelephone + 47 52 81 24 00www.avaldsnes.info

20

The Norse God Odin came to Avaldsnes in AD 998. He told King Olav Tryggvason about King Augvald and

other kings who had lived and ruled there.

21

The Viking Age is given as 800–1050 AD.

The Boat House at Bukkøy.

The name ”Vikings” was used of Scandinavian marauders who sailed to

other countries to trade and pillage.

23

At Avaldsnes, you can be ’Viking for a Day’ and ’Archaeologist for a Day’, dress up and take part in activities. What was life like in the Viking Age? What can we learn about the past by studying the finds archaeologists make during their digs?

Activity booklets at Nordvegen History Centre.

A Viking sheep, perhaps?The grassy mounds between Olav’s Church and Bukkøy Viking Farm are a fine example of how agriculture shapes the landscape. And a reminder to greet the tireless groundsmen – the “Viking Sheep”! Not content just to graze, these hardy animals enjoy human companyand are pleased to say hello to passers-by!

2524

Just a short walk from Nordvegen History Centre, you can visit a reconstructed Viking farm with a longhouse, pit-house, roundhouse and a large Viking boathouse.

Twist breadEasy to make ...

4 dl flour2 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp salt2 tsp sugar5 tbsp soy oil1,5 dl water

Mix dry ingredients together, then add oil and water. Work to a smooth dough and store in an air-tight plastic bag. Carve sticks, twirl dough round stick, and bake on fire until dough comesloose. Be careful not to char. Alternatively, bake bread around a pre-fried sausage.

Another good idea is to add spices, grated cheese or sun-dried tomatoes to the dough. For a sweeter bread, add chopped chocolate to dough! Or swirl bread in a mix of sugar and cinnamon before baking!

30

Pack sausages, bread dough and wood logs for the campfire and find a place on the seashore below the Viking Farm.

At Visnes, you can learn about the history of the mining community that numbered 3,000 inhabitants in the 19th century, and about the mines, which were among Norway’s biggest copper mines. The Statue of Liberty in New York is made from copper from these very mines. Take a walk around the recreation area and see the ruins of the smelting works near the shore or take the children to the mining playground – it’s really popular.

The museum is open during the summer and by appointmentTelephone +47 52 81 24 00www.avaldsnes.info

Imagine that! – Copper from the Visnes mines was used to protect the very symbol of the USA: The Statue of Liberty! Here she stands, a memorial in the marketplace in Visnes, waiting for you to come along and take a picture!

There’s no need to go to New York to get your picture taken with the Statue of Liberty!

35

The weather-worn buildings that once housed the Smelting Furnace are a poignant reminder of the days of mining here in the late 1800s.

“The Lady in the Park”, the figure adorning the park entrance, has become the very symbol of Skudeneshavn.

Skudeneshavn - Awardwinning Summer TownThe charming town of Skudeneshavn lies at the southern point of the island of Karmøy, with lighthouses facing the Skudefjord and the North Sea. The herring fisheries in the early 19th century made the town a bustling hive of industry, and it was in this period that what is known today as the ’Old Town’ emerged. Nowadays, Old Skudeneshavn is one of the best preserved small towns in Norway, with its picturesque white houses and wharfside warehouses.
