Hammerfest

Hammerfest is a town and municipality in the county of Finnmark, Norway. The municipality encompasses parts of three islands; Kvaløya, Sørøya and Seiland.

Despite being the oldest city in the north of Norway, there is precious little history. The city was destroyed by the British in 1809, by a devastating fire in 1891 and by the Germans in 1945.

  • The Museum of Reconstruction tells the tale of the destruction of Hammerfest and the north in 1944-45, and the reconstruction after the war.
  • The 1961 Church of Hammerfest is striking and modern, yet warm and welcoming. The grave chapel next door was the only WWII survivor in town.
  • St. Michael's Church is the local Roman Catholic church, donated by German soldiers after WWII.
  • The Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Club is an exclusive club for anyone who's been to Hammerfest.
