Havly

The harsh living conditions of the fishermen in Lofoten were widely known. The work was of great importance for the economy of Norway, which before the discovery of oil deposits, was a poor country. This house in front of you, was created to improve the fishermen's living conditions run by the religious organization "Den indre SjĂžmannsmisjon". The house became one of several similar houses in Norway, all of which were named Havly. Havly became a meeting point for both local and seasonal fishermen and was also popular with the local youth. Sunday school also took place in the building. Over the years, fishermen came here to eat a good meal, and meet the other fishermen. Some old locals still carry memories of the dances, and of course, the cream cakes and meatballs, which were served there. Today, the building serves as accommodation for the staff at Reine Rorbuer.
