Skålværet

Skålværet[1] are a group of islands in Alstahaug Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

[2] Skålværet was once a thriving trading post and had many residents, but it has since declined in importance.

Today, much of Skålværet is an outdoor recreation area for Alstahaug Municipality.

In addition, there are about fifteen private houses and cottages scattered around the main island.

Since 2007, there are no longer any permanent residents on Skålværet, but the place is far from abandoned.

The picture depicts the Skålvær Church. It is a small building with its walls painted white and a darker roof. The area around the church is covered in snow and the trees have no leaves.
