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.
