Reine, Fishing village in Lofoten Islands, Norway

The coastal settlement of Reine extends across 0.28 square kilometers on Moskenesøya island, featuring red wooden houses against granite mountain peaks.

Established as a trading post in 1743, Reine developed into a fishing center and endured partial destruction during German attacks in December 1941.

The village maintains Norwegian fishing traditions while supporting local artists, as demonstrated by painter Ingo Kühl's harbor documentation in 1999.

Visitors reach Reine via European route E10 highway or ferry services from Bodø to Moskenes port, located 10 kilometers from the village center.

The stone staircase to Reinebringen summit, constructed between 2016 and 2019, provides access to elevated viewpoints over the Arctic waters.
