Kjøllefjord

A vibrant fishing community

About Kjøllefjord

Since the 1500s, the settlement has been a market place for fishermen, tradesmen and the Sámi. The long fjord provides shelter from the open sea, and has been used as a haven for mariners throughout the ages. It's well known for its distinctive Finnkirka sea cliff.
