Old Skudeneshavn is one of Norway's best preserved coastal city environment. The town surrounds a warm harbor on the southern tip of Karmøy. This small town has just over 3000 inhabitants. Here we find among other things old Skudeneshavn, which has emerged on a narrow strip of land between Havnafjellet and the sea.

The house in Søragadå 60 is one of the most distinctive in Old Skudeneshavn, adapted and shaped according to the mountain wall.

Due to its large sailing fleet, the city received cultural impulses from many corners of the world. The cityscape was characterized by fashion in Europe, especially the Empire style with its starting point in the 18th century excavations in Pompeii. Old Skudeneshavn is often called "the white empire town". It is exciting to see that decorations from ancient stone temples are recreated here on the small wooden houses.
