Property info

This building is an old fish factory where they used to produce "clipfish" or better known as "bacalao" (norsk: klippfisk) until 1970's. Now it has been restored into this guesthouse with a rough and rustic style that makes it one of a kind, here you can find details of old times. Here you can hear the wind blowing and the movement of the ocean which makes this place peaceful. If you get to meet Thomas, the owner, don't hesitate to ask him about the history of the place, you will hear a very interesting story about the old days when people traded bacalao. Bacalao came to Norway in the late 1680's, specially in this region. People is still producing bacalao nowadays in this area and is very common product that you should definitely try.

Neighborhood info

Sveggvika has many history locations from WW2, specially the bunkers in Kristiansund 10 min away. The Bacalao (salt modified and dried on the rocks nor.: "klippfisk") export started in the district of Sveggvika. Ancient Viking history points to be visited.
