We have a few out buildings yet to see at the Kjerringøy Trading Post! Today, I am highlighting the differences between the merchant lifestyle (Anna Elisabeth’s house) and the fishermen, who traded and sought safe harbor between catches………The fishermen’s timber quarters are simple and utilitarian. There are several additional buildings, where the work was done, to keep the Trading Post running and feasible! Let’s take a look!

There are fourteen outdoor buildings at the Trading Post, all with a different use…………..one of the bigger buildings was used to build, repair and store the boats……..

There were many sod roofed buildings……….

One was the blacksmith shop……

Another building was the general kitchen and bakery……. and the ovens……..there would have been quite a few men to feed on a daily basis……

and water buckets……..

and work top area……..wow, what a long paddle to get baked goods in and out of the ovens……..

My, what an assortment of dough bowls!

and trays to set the bake goods up and distribute them in………

Another building was the wash house…………

and there was a building for the looms to make rugs…..and other goods……..

It’s just so beautiful and peaceful here now!

We have truly enjoyed visiting the Trading Post. It is an era worth saving!

I hope you have enjoyed all my posts on the Kjerringøy Trading Post……see you tomorrow in Alesund, Norway! What will we find there?
