Smørehamn Handelsstad

History in Smørhamn

Kong Christian V visited here in 1685, and Kong Fredrik IV stayed overnight with his entourage in 1704. Kong Christian VI was here in 1733, accompanied by Queen Sophia Magdalena. The current royal ship has anchored up nearby for multiple years in a row – so we're just waiting for the royals to drop by for a visit?
