history
The island served as a port from an early date. Ships moored here and it was used to dry nets, yarn and sails. The area south of the island was used as a quarantine port. In heavy traffic, ships had to anchor on the island for a few days until a health commission confirmed that no contagious diseases were found on board. When cholera broke out in 1831, a building on the island was used as an isolation ward. In 1870, at the instigation of port captain Thomas Natvig, technical port systems and buildings were built on the island . The largest building was the Pramhuset . It was renovated in 1997 and serves as an event room for groups between 50 and 150 people. After a fire in 2003, the affected building was rebuilt in 2009.
