Skaftnes Gård

About the museum

Skaftnes Gård lies between Sennesvik and Ure on Vestvågøy in Lofoten and shows how the fisherman-farmer lived. Visitors can walk between the main house (våningshus), cowshed, landing stage and boathouse (naust) and hear about everyday life on a farm where fishing and farming went hand in hand.

The farm is part of Museum Nord, and the summer exhibition is titled “Matkultur på Skaftens gård” (Food Culture on Skaften Farm) and is about food, resources and everyday life. Outside the summer season the farm is closed, but guided tours can be booked.
