Haugesund History: Norway’s Viking Port That Built a Kingdom ????????
Thanks for watching! Note: Places in this video may not be Haugesund. Discover the history of Haugesund, Norway — a coastal city with Viking roots, royal legends, and a booming herring industry that helped shape the nation’s identity. This is Haugesund explained. Haugesund may look like a quiet town on Norway’s west coast — but it sits near the birthplace of the Norwegian kingdom. Just south lies Avaldsnes, the Viking stronghold of Harald Fairhair, Norway’s first king. From ancient sea routes and royal graves to 19th-century herring booms and maritime growth, Haugesund’s past is rich, surprising, and essential to understanding Norway’s story.
