Norway’s only living shipbuilding museum – founded in 1856. The shipyard buildings are from 1872 and the residential houses from 1887. Museum and conservation centre for More og Romsdal. Many veteran craft are anchored/moored in the area. A walk through the shipyard is a pleasant and interesting experience.

Loved the atmosphere, the smell of tar, sea and old boats. Nice little exhibition explaining the historie of the shipbuilding that took place here, some historic Events and some maritime expressions and craftsmanships.
