Kjerringøy trading post, Heritage site in Bodø Municipality, Norway.
The trading post contains fifteen historical buildings that display traditional North Norwegian architecture and trading practices from the eighteenth century.
During the nineteenth century, this coastal trading center became a central hub for maritime commerce between local fishermen and merchants from Bergen.
The buildings preserve the distinct social hierarchy of the period, showing the living quarters of both merchant families and their domestic workers.
Visitors can access the site by taking a ferry between Festvåg and Misten, with guided tours available throughout the summer season.
The old store section maintains its original layout where guests can purchase traditional Norwegian sweets using historical trading methods.
