About Kjerringøy handelssted

Kjerringøy handelssted preserves an old trading post on the coast north of Bodø. The group of wooden buildings shows how a place organized buying, selling, storage and domestic life around maritime routes.

The walk follows the museum’s buildings and settings, with the shore and boats as context. It is a visit to understand the coastal economy, different from that of an urban commercial centre. The indoor spaces and activities follow their own schedule.

Getting there from Bodø requires road travel and a ferry crossing on the usual route. Reserve a significant part of the day and check return connections. The summer season usually expands visiting possibilities; access to the buildings must be confirmed outside that period.
