Spangereid

Spangereid

Spangereid is a former municipality in Vest-Agder county, Norway.

Spangereid was separated from Sør-Audnedal January 1, 1899. It became (together with Sør-Audnedal and Vigmostad) a part of the new municipality Lindesnes January 1, 1964.

The area is one of Norway's richest archaeological sites. The abundant remnants from the Bronze Age and Viking era show the Spangereid was a very important place at that time. Spangereid is strategically connected at the Lindesnes peninsula, Norway's southernmost point, where the east coast meets the west coast. Today the village is a popular tourist destination for Norwegians and Europeans alike.

Spangereid has an important history from the Viking era, and plays an important role in the history of Norway.
