Húsar, Fishing village in Kalsoy, Faroe Islands.

Húsar stands on the east coast of Kalsoy island, offering views across the North Atlantic waters and neighboring Faroese landmasses.

The settlement holds the distinction of being the first established village on Kalsoy island, with roots extending into early Norse colonization periods.

The stone church constructed in 1920 represents the architectural traditions and religious practices that shaped the development of this northern community.

A ferry service connects Húsar to Klaksvík three times daily, while local buses provide transportation to other settlements across Kalsoy island.

The village maintains fish farming operations specializing in fry production, requiring 1.5 to 2 years of growth before transfer to sea farms.
