Great and rich your verdant pastures, Stout against the sea you face, Karmøy praise your hardy coastline!
NILS AARØY
KARMØY ANTHEM: “PÅ HEIMLEG GRUNN”
5
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 barons and kings, with their indentured trells, be your guide. The Church and
History Centre offer majestic views of sheltered Karmsund strait, the original “Northern Way”,
or way north, hence “Norway”.
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 figure who appears so often in sagas and songs. The barons who controlled the vital ”Northern Way” have left impressive works: mighty grave mounds, tall memorial stones, and rich artefact beds. 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 Needle – the 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
Nordvegen History Centre, though it lies in the midst of history, avoids spoiling the views of the Olav´s Church and its carefully manicured surroundings, as most of the building is below ground. Only the entrance and Karmsund face are visible.

19
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 barons 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
According to the Sagas, King Olav Tryggvason (c. 968–1000) investigated several burial mounds at Avaldsnes. Perhaps seeking proof of a relationship with Harald Fairhair?
21
The Viking Age is given as 800–1050 AD.
Learn more about this fascinating age when you visit Avaldsnes!

22
The name ”Vikings” was used of Scandinavian marauders who sailed to other countries to trade and pillage.

23
Royal Estates Project One of Norway’s largest historical digs has been taking place in Avaldsnes in recent years. The mission of the Royal Estates Project is to explore the role of these lands in the lives of the Norwegian monarchy.
2524
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
The footpath to the Viking Farm on Bukkøy offers close communion with nature.
26
The Viking Farm, below the medieval church, consists of several dwellings, longhouses, fire-pits, roundhouses and a spacious boat house.

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.

VISNES
Visnes encapsulates the history of a mining community. In the nineteenth century it was home to 3000 and one of Norway’s largest copper mines! Evidence suggests that the Statue of Liberty in New York is sheathed in copper from these very mines. Walk through Director Charles de France’s garden – the Fransehagen – and inspect the ruins on the water’s edge. Or take the children to the Mine playground – a popular attraction!

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!

Skudeneshavn - Awardwinning Summer TownAt the southern tip of Karmøy, with lighthouses guiding ships into Skudefjorden and across the North Sea, lies the charm and old-world flavour of Skudeneshavn, home of the sailing clippers. Founded on the incredible success of the early 19th Century herring harvests, the town grew at a startling rate. Even today, almost 130 original timber homes and seafront wharves have been preserved in ”The Old Town”.
