After the Maløy raid, during the Second World War, large parts of Måløy was bombed and burned. As a consequence, the town has few remaining older wooden houses and caracteristical boat houses. In the aftermath of the war, large industrial buildings and concrete boxes, in a 1950s building style, came to and would continue to dominate the current town centre. A perfect base for a creative mind. When Tone Andal returned to her hometown in 2010 she quickly realized Måløy’s many grey and worn concrete walls had great potentional as a street art canvases. Today, you can explore 20 different murals in the Måløy region. Most of them are within walking proximity of Måløy town centre. www.streetartmaloy.no

Early morning, 27 December 1941: the Christmas peace is shattered by a loud bang.

In ten minutes, more than 560 British bombs fell on Måløy. For the next six hours, it’s total war: aerial bombs, street fighting and artillery fire from warships. Through the deafening racket: the high-pitched sound of bagpipes. Original pictures from the raid and metres of original film are displayed in a vivid exhibition, which has touched thousands of visitors. The displays also showcase original uniforms, Mad Jack’s bagpipes and Martin Linge’s pistol, accompanied by the smells of Christmas baking and explosions. As well as the exhibition on the Måløy raid, there are displays on Martin Linge, the Linge Company, the daring Shetland Bus missions and the Norwegian Independent Brigade Group, BAOR. You can also find out more about what it was like to be a German soldier stationed at Måløy during the war. The centre is located at the heart of the town, with parking in the square and several good cafés nearby.

With the North Sea as the next door neighboor, Kråkenes lighthouse is a place that will take your breath away. The lighthouse is placed on a base 45 masl and is surrounded by the ocean on 3 sides. When the weather is at its most intense, the waves and sea gusts rage towards the windows, reminding you that staying inside is probably the best idea. The lighthouse has a weather station that sends data to Norway’s meteorological institute. It might be one of the places on Norway’s coast with the strongest wind. Kråkenes lighthouse was establihsed by the Norwegian coastal adiminstration Kystverket in 1906. It is a lighthouse that guides passing boat traffic as well as arriving ships from the Stad ocean in Kinn municipality. The lighthouse was automated in 1986, and is rented by Ytre Nordfjord Turlag, a local chapter of the Norwegian trekking assosication DNT. Despite being known for its most windy days, a visit to Kråkenes lighthouse is a unique experience. Sit outside on a more quiet day and watch the sun set in the ocean. The lighthouse café is open every weekend and red days in the period April 9 – September 4, 11.00 – 17.00. www.krakenesfyr.com

In the middle of the 19th century, the trading priviliges went away. The coastal museum are resposible for running Vågsberget. During the summer season, Vågsberget is open for tours of the historical houses and exhbition, and there is a café in one of the buildings. Open June 23 – August 14, 12.00 – 17.00 Thurs – Sun.
