NILS AARØY 5 Welcome to Karmøy Homeland of the Viking Kings – Norway’s Birthplace
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.

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 Manors. 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.

15 Olav’s Church, built by Håkon Håkonsen in about 1250 AD, is a powerful memorial to former greatness. - Did you know that Avaldsnes became an important stopping place for pilgrims going to Nidaros?
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 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 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 kings who held court at Avaldsnes, funded by taxation of trading ships plying the Norwegian coast.
Open all year Telephone + 47 52 81 24 00 www.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 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.
22 23 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 company and are pleased to say hello to passers-by!
22 23 A short walk from Nordvegen History Centre brings you to a reconstructed Viking settlement that features a longhouse, a boat house for a Viking warship, a roundhouse and several smaller buildings. Meet Vikings for activities and guided tours during the summer season.
24 An exciting assignment as an «Archaeologist or Viking for a day», archery and handicrafts are some of the things you can participate in here.
25 The Viking Longhouse
26 The Viking era ranged from AD 750 to AD 1100 when people from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark made their mark on Europe. The Vikings are mostly known as pirates and warriors, but they were also traders, craftsmen, farmers, fishermen, poets and discoverers. The nation states of Scandinavia were established.

36 37 “The Lady in the Park”, the figure adorning the park entrance, has become the very symbol of Skudeneshavn.
37 Skudeneshavn - Awardwinning Summer Town
The 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 ’Historic Town’ emerged. Nowadays, Historic Skudeneshavn is one of the best preserved small towns in Norway, with its picturesque white houses and wharfside warehouses.
