Røsvik is an old trading place and former ferry port in the municipality of Sørfold in Nordland in Norway . The place is on the west side of the fjord Sørfolda , about 28 km north of Fauske . Røsvik had 209 inhabitants in 2007, but the number has since fallen below 200
history
The trading post was founded in 1760 and protected in 1942. The local merchant, Arnt Abelsen Mørch, was granted a catering permit in 1772. Røsvik Church ( Norwegian Røsvik kirke or Røsvik kyrkje ) is a wooden church from 1883 with 600 seats.
Today there is, among other things, a psychiatry center and a residential and treatment center ( Norwegian bog og treatment center ).
Ferry port
The road between Fauske and Røsvik was completed in 1932 and is still in use today as the N826 ( Norwegian riksvei 826 ).
In April 1941, a ferry route between Røsvik and Bonåsjøen was opened as part of the then N50 ( Norwegian riksvei 50 ) between Fauske and Narvik . When the road between Straumen and Sommerset , today's E6 , was opened in 1966 , the ferry route was shortened to the route between Sommerset and Bonåsjøen.
From 1964 on there was also a ferry between Røsvik and Nordfold in Steigen . The ferry connection was closed with the opening of the eight-kilometer-long climbing tunnel in 1991.
The ferry terminal and waiting room in Røsvik were proposed for the National Plan for the Preservation of Roads, Bridges and Road-Related Cultural Monuments ( Norwegian Nasjonal verneplan for veger, bruer og vegrelaterte kulturminner ).
