ABOUT THE PLACE

Sula, Frøya

Sula is a natural gem facing the open sea at the outer edge of the Frøya archipelago. Walking through Sula's dense wooden houses is like stepping into a storybook. Sula was once an important fishing village with up to 500 permanent residents, but recent decades have seen many people move away. Today the island has around 50 year-round inhabitants, and considerably more during the summer months.

The artists' island in the Frøya archipelago

Sula is often called the artists' island, with its own gallery in Hanna Daae's house, an art centre and Atelier Staangsund. You will also find a shop, a café, a pub and a restaurant, and there is always something going on: concerts and other cultural events.

A historic walk on Sula

Besides the fishing village museum, the walk takes in the traditional boathouses, the driftwood and message-in-a-bottle museum, Sula church - the oldest church site on Frøya, with a rare graveyard on three levels - as well as the lighthouse from 1909 and the lighthouse keeper's house. Sula is also a key site on the national Coastal Pilgrim Route.

Accommodation and dining on Sula

There are several places to stay, including the lighthouse keeper's house and Sula Rorbuer og Havhotell.
