Unlike most of the rest of Finnmark, Kongsfjord was not burned to the ground and destroyed, but the developments in the fisheries passed Kongsfjord by. That is why Kongsfjord of today is a peaceful place \u2013 home to only a handful of people \u2013 with achingly beautiful buildings in a vast, barren and desolate landscape.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Some of the most unique characteristics of the cities, towns and fishing villages in Finnmark are the way they look. All of the buildings look as if they were built&nbsp;at the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-museum-of-reconstruction-in-hammerfest-tells-the-story-of-rebuilding-from-the-ashes-of-war\/\">same time,<\/a> all <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/reconstruction-architecture-defines-north-troms-and-finnmark\/\">at once<\/a>. They are more square than rectangular, and they have bold colours and clean, modern lines. That is because they were all built after the war, after almost all buildings were destroyed in 1944. Only Kongsfjord and a few other communities in Eastern Finnmark were spared. This is an opportunity to see what Finnmark looked like before the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\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\/2023\/08\/90E7F861-3703-4C92-80FE-186B3061DE60.jpg\" data-size=\"1600x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/90E7F861-3703-4C92-80FE-186B3061DE60-1365x2048.jpg\" alt=\"The local shop in Kongsfjord is no more.

On your left, if you come up from the south, is the old shop. It was undergoing restaurations when we last visited.

This is a very well-conserved cluster of buildings from around 1900. There is a pier at the water\u2019s edge, close to the so-called \u201cmonthly men\u2019s shack\u201d. This is where the \u201cmonthly men\u201d stayed \u2013 seasonal workers who needed to make some extra money. The single- and double-storey homes are further up, away from the water. At the very back are barns and sheds. This entire site is currently Kongsfjord Gjestehus \u2013 offering accommodation to visitors. There is also a caf\u00e9 in the summer. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\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\/2023\/08\/IMG_3216.jpg\" data-size=\"1800x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_3216-1536x2048.jpg\" alt=\"Moonlit evening at Veidnes \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_3216.jpg\" data-caption=\"Moonlit evening at Veidnes \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" \/>\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\/2023\/08\/DFE2CA95-6A33-49E0-93D3-45D20D614482.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DFE2CA95-6A33-49E0-93D3-45D20D614482-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"Kongsfjord - once among the busiest fishing villages in Norway&#039;s far northeast - is today very quiet \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DFE2CA95-6A33-49E0-93D3-45D20D614482.jpg\" data-caption=\"Kongsfjord - once among the busiest fishing villages in Norway&#039;s far northeast - is today very quiet \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" \/>\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: Moonlit evening at Veidnes \u00a9 Katelin Pell<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Kongsfjord &#8211; once among the busiest fishing villages in Norway&#039;s far northeast &#8211; is today very quiet \u00a9 Katelin Pell<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-this-is-ancient-land\">This is ancient land<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People have been living in the Kongsfjord area since the Stone Age \u2013 archaeologists have found arrowheads and foundations for dwellings. In the Sami Iron Age, which covers the period from 0\u20131600 AD, the Sami people were nomadic and stayed in the fjords around Kongsfjord for part of the year to hunt seal and birds on the small islands nearby. In the late Middle Ages, they encountered the first Norwegians, who fished the fjords and exported dried fish to Bergen. As early as the 17th century, there are records of the islands being under the Danish King\u2019s protection, which indicates a considerable interest in the natural resources here. This is also when the area gets its regal name, Kongsfjord \u2013 the King\u2019s Fjord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kongsfjord-expanded-from-approx-1875\">Kongsfjord expanded from approx. 1875<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kongsfjord must have been a tiny community until the 19th century, but it started expanding rapidly from around 1875. Kongsfjord has a good harbour, and the fishing banks were bountiful. Fish paid well and with better transport options south, the settlement picked up pace. In 1892, the postal boat started stopping at Kongsfjord, and in 1900, telegraph poles went up. There were eight fish processing plants here before the war, and they produced fresh fish, dried fish, salt fish, cod liver oil and guano. The islands had tenants who harvested eggs, eider down and berries in the summer season. &nbsp;There was also a boarding school in Kongsfjord for children from the small coastal Sami settlements on the fjords. As the language spoken in Kongsfjord was Norwegian during this time, this contributed to the Norwegianization, alienating the school children from their Sami culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\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\/2023\/08\/C9FC7FAD-421E-4645-9251-4E66A200B06A.jpg\" data-size=\"1600x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/C9FC7FAD-421E-4645-9251-4E66A200B06A-1365x2048.jpg\" alt=\"Veidnes is a little collection of 19th c. houses a good mile north of Kongsfjord \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/C9FC7FAD-421E-4645-9251-4E66A200B06A.jpg\" data-caption=\"Veidnes is a little collection of 19th c. houses a good mile north of Kongsfjord \u00a9 Katelin Pell\" \/>\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\/2023\/08\/sveitserhus.jpg\" data-size=\"1800x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/sveitserhus-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A late 19th c.

The area was sectioned off with barbed wire, and there were restrictions on where people were allowed to go. This was true both on land and at sea. Allied forces sunk a Dutch river barge in the harbour in 1944, and it stayed there for many years after as a reminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kongsfjord-was-the-westernmost-community-to-survive-the-war\">Kongsfjord was the westernmost community to survive the war<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For more than three years of war, the front lay between Kirkenes in occupied Norway and Murmansk in the Soviet Union. For most of this period, the front lay in Litsadalen immediately east of the border. The German forces were forced to withdraw in late 1944, and Kirkenes was liberated by the Red Army in late October. The German soldiers were suddenly in a hurry to move west, and the only land connection was the Tana bridge. This bridge was destroyed on 6 November, and after this date, everything east of the bridge, including Kongsfjord, was freed from German occupation. In short, Kongsfjord escaped destruction because the Germans didn\u2019t have time to burn it down.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide

attics and basements all over Kongsfjord, because the nearby Berlev\u00e5g had been burned and completely destroyed. But the community soon thrived, with shops, bakeries, guesthouses and the postal boat from Troms\u00f8 stopping in. In 1947, the population counted 148 people from 42 households. In addition, many seasonal workers came in from the small coastal communities nearby. After a while, it also became common for young people from Finland to find summer jobs out here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-downfall-of-kongsfjord\">Downfall of Kongsfjord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fisheries are a fickle industry. Larger boats required larger fish processing plants, and eventually, they started processing much of the catch on board. In the late 1980s, they built a nice, big, new school for 20 pupils, but in 1995, there were only 8 left. In 1998, the school was closed, and only a handful of students caught the bus to Berlev\u00e5d for school. Today, Kongsfjord is home to around 30 people. Fishing boats no longer land here \u2013 there are no fish processing plants left. \u00c5se Winsents, from a good Kongsfjord family, is a prime mover when it comes to restoring the old buildings. A building in use is a building that is cared for. That is why they currently rent them out to tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide wp-block-t2-featured-content-layout\" role=\"list\"><div

id=\"h-veiness-fortress-is-visible-on-the-promontory\">Veiness Fortress is visible on the promontory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction on the coastal fortress at Veineset started in early 1942. Coastal fortifications were built all along the coast, from Eastern Finnmark to the French-Spanish border. These fortifications were part of the Atlantic Wall The intention was to protect Germany and German-controlled territories against attack and landings from the Allied Forces. Once finished, the fortress had five cannons, and approx. 140 men were stationed here. In 1944, ammunition and cannons were disassembled and moved west, and the rest was blown up and destroyed. The crumbling concrete of the ruins are still quite prominent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-veines-bird-hide-offers-great-views\">Veines bird hide offers great views<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a bird hide out on the promontory of Veineset. Eastern Finnmark has a rich and varied bird population, and bird watchers come from all over the worlds to see Arctic birds they would otherwise have to travel to remote high Arctic places to see. That is why the architects at Biotope put up bird hides, where bird watchers can watch the bird without being seen by them. One of the better known of these hides sits at the top of Veineset, and it offers spectacular views. Be considerate of bird watchers if you go up there \u2013 they prefer quiet and good angles for photography.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide

Please do not disturb the birds during nesting season, from April to mid-July \u2013 we recommend sticking to the trail during this period. The terrain is easy, and there are hardly any hills. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-do-in-kongsfjord-and-veines\">What to do in Kongsfjord and Veines?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When driving from Tana or B\u00e5tsfjord to the beautiful Berlev\u00e5g, Kongsfjord is the obvious choice to stop for a break. Taking the time to go for a little hike and take pictures is compulsory in a place like this, where the landscape is so full of a melancholy beauty. Please remember, though: do not enter people\u2019s gardens or look through windows. It can be easy to forget basic manners when you\u2019re this far from home. If you have the time, the hike out to Veinesodden is a must. If you really want to immerse yourself, we recommend staying in Kongsfjord overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_2661-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_2661-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_2661-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_2661-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_2661.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Not many people live in Kongsfjord, but they stand out in an empty Varanger landscape \u00a9 AM Hellberg Moberg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leif Bjarne Hammer has written an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/37124306\/Et_kort_overblikk_over_Kongsfjords_historie_fra_eldre_til_moderne_tid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">historic overview<\/a> (Norwegian)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tor Edgar Olsen has written about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toredgarolsen.net\/Veinesodden%20batteri.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">German fortress<\/a> at Veinesodden (Norwegian)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The<a href=\"https:\/\/arkitekturguide.uit.no\/items\/show\/1045\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Architectural guide for Northern Norway and Svalbard<\/a> is always a good sources for information on old houses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ut.no describes the <a href=\"https:\/\/ut.no\/turforslag\/113241\/veinesodden-fyrlykt-kongsfjord-berlevag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">route to the lighthouse at Veinesodden<\/a>.
