The history of Høyevarde:

Høyevarde lighthouse was established in 1700 and has been an important lighthouse in Karmsundet, formerly known as Nordvegen - way to the North. Høyevarde lighthouse as it stands today is from the year 1858 and today you'll find the light keepers house, customs, boathouse and a wood-fired bakery. In 1700 Heinrich Petersen Ysted received the royal license to operate the lighthouse.

Høyevarde lighthouse is approximately 60 acres of landscape, and is situated as a untouched treasure at the end of Hydro's construction site at Karmøy.

Høyevarde has comfortable rooms, meeting rooms, a stately dining room and a beautiful garden. On the site there is also a Bronze Age burial from the year 1500 BC.

Høyevarde is mentioned in English history books, because the Earl of Bothwell, Mary Stuart second husband, was captured in Høyevarde after emigrating from Scotland.
