Your own island adventure at Myken Lighthouse
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.
