Kabelvåg

Kabelvåg

Norway
      historical village of the Lofoten island group, northern Norway. It is on the southern shore of Austvågøya island, just southwest of Svolvær, chief town of the Lofoten. Kabelvåg was founded as Vågan in the early 12th century by King Øystein, who built a church and fishermen's hostel there. For many centuries the small port, situated at the base of steep, picturesque cliffs, was important in the traditional cod fisheries. The port has fallen into disuse, and Kabelvåg is now known chiefly as a summer resort and cultural centre. Near the village is a statue of King Øystein. The municipality that encompasses Kabelvåg is named Vågan after the ancient settlement. Pop. (2007 est.) 1,920.
