Grøtøy handelssted, Heritage trading post in Steigen Municipality, Norway.
The wooden mansion at Grøtøy handelssted contains 22 rooms and stands on an island near the Vestfjorden, facing the Norwegian Sea.
Established in 1690 by the Schøning family, the trading post developed into the largest commercial center in Northern Norway during the mid-1800s.
The mansion houses Tare Steigen Air, providing residency programs for professional artists who work in three dedicated studio spaces throughout the year.
The mansion opens for guided tours every Sunday from late June to mid-August, offering visitors coffee and cake in the historical dining room.
The trading post served as the final stop for fishermen heading to Lofoten's Arctic cod fishery, where they obtained supplies and negotiated deals.
