Titran
Frøya's westernmost fishing village - wartime remains, the Titran disaster of 1899 and Sletringen lighthouse just offshore.
Titran - the fishing village facing the open sea
Titran lies at the western tip of Frøya and was once one of the most important fishing villages in central Norway, with a harbour that in the herring years could hold dozens of boats and hundreds of fishermen. Today around 130 people live out here - in a small coastal community where history is quite literally built into the walls.
Titran - the fishing village facing the open sea
By Titran chapel stands the memorial to the Titran disaster. On the night between 13 and 14 October 1899, the fishing fleet was caught by a hurricane, and 140 fishermen from across central Norway died in a single night - one of the greatest fishing disasters in Norwegian history.
Stabben fort
During the Second World War, the occupying forces built Stabben fort as part of the Atlantic Wall. The complex was constructed by Soviet and Serbian prisoners of war and contains several hundred metres of underground passages that are open to visitors today.
Sletringen lighthouse - Norway's tallest
On a skerry west of Titran towers Sletringen lighthouse, Norway's tallest lighthouse, 45 metres of red cast iron.
