Kragerø

The landscape around Kragerø is a low, rocky Skagerrak coast broken by wooded islands and narrow inlets, which has shaped both urban form and local economy. The town spreads along sheltered waterfronts rather than a broad shore, with boats, quays and older wooden buildings central to its maritime character. Kragerø’s archipelago has long supported coastal travel, fishing and summer life, while ferries connect the centre with nearby islands. Artist Edvard Munch lived and worked here from 1909 to 1916; he painted The Sun in Kragerø for the monumental decorations of the University of Oslo’s Aula.
