In the days when all travel was by sea, it was here along the Tjeldsundet Strait that people met to trade and exchange news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sandtorgholmen-has-ancient-routes-but-it-was-alcohol-that-drew-the-crowds\">Sandtorgholmen has ancient routes but it was alcohol that drew the crowds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandtorgholmen is mentioned in documents for the first time in 1321, and a list of the owners\u2019 names has been preserved from as far back as 1557. So Sandtorgholmen has always been a substantial farming estate. In 1770, however, the owners were granted a licence to sell wine and liquor. Naturally, this proved a huge magnet, and Sandtorgholmen soon became an important centre for the sailing ships trading up and down the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-style-faq\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\n\t\t\t\tPractical information about Sandtorgholmen resort hotel\n\t\t\t<\/h3><div class=\"t2-accordion wp-block-t2-accordion\" data-allow-multiple=\"1\" role=\"list\"><div class=\"t2-accordion-item wp-block-t2-accordion-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"t2-accordion-title\">\n\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"t2-accordion-trigger\" id=\"where-is-the-hotel?\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\tWhere is the hotel?\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-closed-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevrondown\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12 14.9c-.1 0-.3 0-.4-.1-.1 0-.2-.1-.3-.2L6.7 10c-.2-.1-.3-.4-.3-.6 0-.3.1-.5.3-.7.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3s.5.1.7.3l3.9 3.9 3.9-3.9c.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3.3 0 .5.1.7.3.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7l-4.6 4.6c-.1.1-.2.2-.3.2H12z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-open-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevronup\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6.7 14.7c-.2-.2-.3-.4-.3-.7s.1-.5.3-.7l4.6-4.6c.1-.1.2-.2.3-.2.1 0 .2-.1.4-.1.1 0 .3 0 .4.1.1 0 .2.1.3.2l4.6 4.6c.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3L12 10.8l-3.9 3.9c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-accordion-item__inner-container is-layout-flow\" id=\"accordion-panel\" aria-labelledby=\"where-is-the-hotel?\" role=\"region\" hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\tThe hotel is located at the extreme south western area of Troms.

In 1867 telegraph lines reached Sandtorgholmen, and for King Oscar II of Norway-Sweden it was a natural stopover on his famous voyage to Northern Norway in 1873.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-small-community-which-was-once-the-richest-trading-post-in-the-north\">A small community which was once the richest trading post in the north<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandtorgholmen had a general store where the locals could buy essential imported goods such as flour and sugar, as well as liquor and wine. There was an important trading connection with the Pomor merchants from the White Sea coast of Northern Russia. Sandtorgholmen was also a considerable farming estate, numbering 27 buildings by the early 1800s, and with 28 people living there all year round in what was at that time the richest trading post north of Trondheim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sami-predictions-rang-true\">Sami predictions rang true <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Napoleonic wars in the early 19th century, when there was great poverty among the common people, Sandtorgholmen remained prosperous. The mistress of the house, Maren Marie Christensen, gave food to the needy. But her husband, Rasmus, forbade her to help a Sami woman, as he feared she would bring evil and bad luck upon them. When Rasmus was away on one of his journeys, Maren nevertheless gave a little food to the poor Sami woman. In gratitude, the woman foretold that Sandtorgholmen would suffer three fires, but that the \u201cstabburet\u201d (storehouse) would survive, as the only building. This prediction proved true, and the storehouse from 1750 was undamaged by three fires on the estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4b45ed6d097ac4d56097ac64ead54670.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x900\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4b45ed6d097ac4d56097ac64ead54670.jpg\" alt=\"Cruiseskip stryker rett forbi \u00a9 Sandtorgholmen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4b45ed6d097ac4d56097ac64ead54670.jpg\" data-caption=\"Cruiseskip stryker rett forbi \u00a9 Sandtorgholmen\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ab1befde9019d3dd573d112489206706.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x900\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ab1befde9019d3dd573d112489206706-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"Jordkjeller bak hovedhuset \u00a9 Visit Harstad\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ab1befde9019d3dd573d112489206706.jpg\" data-caption=\"Jordkjeller bak hovedhuset \u00a9 Visit Harstad\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/a7f8fca15fc16d3e4f2a6405002c0160.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x803\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/a7f8fca15fc16d3e4f2a6405002c0160-768x514.jpg\" alt=\"For store arrangementer \u00a9 Sandtorgholmen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/a7f8fca15fc16d3e4f2a6405002c0160.jpg\" data-caption=\"For store arrangementer \u00a9 Sandtorgholmen\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Cruiseskip stryker rett forbi \u00a9 Sandtorgholmen<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Jordkjeller bak hovedhuset \u00a9 Visit Harstad<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: For store arrangementer \u00a9 Sandtorgholmen<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-main-building-is-in-swiss-chalet-style\">The main building is in swiss chalet style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the buildings in existence today date from the period after the last fire in 1906. The main building is an elegant, white-painted timber house in Swiss Chalet style. The reception rooms have recently been restored to their original splendour, and the entire project has taken 27 students and two teachers two-and-a-half man-years to complete all the painting. In 1916 the main house was moved 200 metres, while it was still being lived in!
