Åsgårdstrand

Tucked along the western shore of the Oslofjord, Åsgårdstrand is a place whose character is shaped by its sheltered coastal setting. This small former seafaring town in Vestfold is closely associated with Edvard Munch, who bought a summer house here in 1898 and returned for decades; the preserved property is now Munch’s House. Its old centre retains wooden homes and narrow streets leading towards the water, while the shoreline remains part of everyday life. Munch painted several works in and around Åsgårdstrand, including motifs connected with the town’s pier and beach. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Oslofjord coast.
