Farsund, Norway
-
The stunning municipality of Farsund.
In Norway’s far south, Farsund’s strategic location led to its development as a trading centre back in the 18th century, with upwards of 50 shipowners operating from the town. The region supports extensive agriculture and, of course, fishing, while the varied scenery – sandy beaches, rocky crags, mountains, forest and dozens of islands – has long attracted artists and photographers.
Just inland is Vanse Church, which probably dates from the early 11th century, while at Lista there are almost 20 historical buildings spread across the town. The museum, which owns the buildings, also has a fine pre-historic collection, much of it found at nearby Pennefeltet where there are 3,000-year-old rock carvings, burial fields and traces of Iron- and Stone-Age settlements.
