Nordøyan

Nordøyan[1] is an archipelago and abandoned fishing village[2] in Nærøysund Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway.

Nordøyan has been the site of a fishing village dating back to the 16th century, but since 1919, has not had any permanent residents.

[2] Nordøyan Lighthouse is located on the islet of Surnøya, having been built there in 1890.

[2][5][6] By the turn of the 20th century, motorized boats were beginning to be seen in the area.

[3] The area consisted of bare bedrock and partly peat-covered rock.
