Korshamn

Korshamn

Korshamn is a small settlement in the southern part of the municipality of Lyngdal in Vest-Agder, Norway. Traditionally a fishing village, it now caters to tourists, primarily through the guest house "Korshamn Rorbuer".

According to Snorre, King Olaf II - Saint Olaf - in 1028 made landfall on the island of Sælør here with thirteen ships and a thousand men. This event was commemorated by the erection of a sculpture of the king in central Lyngdal, revealed by King Olav V in 1983.
