Skredderøya

It is not so difficult to imagine where the name “Skredderøya” which means “tailor island” comes from. It is obviously because there was a tailor who lived here. Who that tailor was, however, is not so easy to work out, but it is likely that he arrived here at some point in the 17th century. The foundations from the house on Skredderøya still remain, back in time it would have been one of many small holdings that belonged to Dolm vicarage. The path out towards Skredderøya is a well signposted cultural walk which leads you not only through an exciting cultural landscape, but also past a dam, ruins, and old cart roads.
