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. Both meeting rooms are equipped with all necessary technical equipment.
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 third husband, was captured in Høyevarde after emigrating from Scotland.
At Høyevarde it is Lothe's Food and Wine house that manage the kitchen. They only use fresh ingredients and change menus according to the season. Local food is their focus, and with own sheep, chickens, beehives and herb garden that is no problem.
