Kabelvåg, Seaside village in Austvågøya island, Norway.
The village extends along the southern shore of Austvågøya island, situated 5 kilometers southwest of Svolvær in the Lofoten archipelago.
King Øystein Magnusson established the settlement in the early 12th century by constructing a church and accommodations for local fishermen.
The Lofoten Museum, housed in an 1815 mansion, presents exhibits about regional fishing traditions and contains preserved historic buildings.
The European route E10 connects the village to other parts of Lofoten, while the Nordland kunst- og filmhøgskole offers education in film and arts.
The village produced 80 percent of Norway's exports in the 13th century through its dried cod trade with Southern European countries.
