Å, Fishing village in Moskenes, Norway
The village extends along the southern end of Moskenesøya island, where European route E10 concludes its path through the Lofoten archipelago.
The settlement started as two distinct fishing areas in 1840, managed by Ellingsen and Nilsen families who constructed separate docks and fish oil factories.
The Norwegian Fishing Village Museum presents seven buildings from the 1800s that detail the daily routines of fishing families in the region.
Visitors can reach the village by taking a ferry from Bodø to Moskenes, followed by a short drive south on European route E10.
The village maintains Europe's oldest fish oil factory from 1850 and a wood-fired bakery from 1844 that continues to produce fresh bread.
