History

Kamøyvær, located within the Nordkapp municipality in Norway’s far north, carries a fascinating history shaped by its remote geography and the rich traditions of its coastal inhabitants. As part of the North Cape region, Kamøyvær is one of the northernmost settlements in Europe, situated on the northern coast of the island of Magerøya. This village has been home to fishing communities for centuries, with early records indicating that fishing was the primary livelihood for the first settlers. Norwegians, along with the indigenous Sami people, have navigated these rugged coastlines, surviving and thriving through a deeply rooted connection to the sea.
