In 1918, a lighthouse was built on the fishing village of Myken, far out towards the open sea. It was guarded and cared for by a lighthouse keeper, his wife, their five children — and a cow. In 1975, the lighthouse was automated, and in 2018 it was beautifully renovated by Eventyrlig Oppussing (a Norwegian home renovation TV show). Today, you can stay here and experience the unique atmosphere of having your very own small island on the Helgeland coast.
Between sky and sea, far from the mainland, on Jutøya in the old fishing village of Myken, you'll find Myken Lighthouse. Standing like a final outpost against the vast ocean to the west, it has kept steady watch over the tiny island community for more than a hundred years. Here, you can stay with the whole island practically to yourselves, just a short boat ride across the strait to everything Myken has to offer.
