Experience the coastal culture of Seløy and stay either in the traditional Nordlandshuset or in the fishing reception facility of Augustbryggo.
Nordlandshuset
Adjacent to the restaurant, you'll find the idyllic Nordlandshuset. In the past, many such houses were common in this region. Edvardahuset is one of these houses. They were often built, dismantled, and reassembled. If a family needed to move for various reasons, they would often take the house with them. Edvardahuset has been moved at least three times, from places including Korgen and Dønna, making it a historic Nordland house full of character. This is evident in the partially exposed timber within the house. The house is named after its last inhabitant, Edvarda. Read More
