Facts at A Glance

150 year-old lighthouse at the entrance to the harbour of Aalesund. The interior of the lighthouse is completely round, only 3 meters in diameter, but through effective use of the available spaces, Molja Fyr now boasts a bedroom upstairs and a bathroom downstairs.

The interior design was carried out by Snohetta, Norway's most well known architects (designers of Oslo Opera House and Ground Zero museum in the New York City among many other landmark projects). They have carefully achieved a wonderfully distinctive blend of modern facilities with the historic and rustic interior.

Molja Fyr is run and administrered by the nearby Hotel Brosundet which is almost equally distinctive in a different way. The Hotel Brosundet is located in a 100+ years-old protected building. As a result Molja Fyr has become known as "Room 47" of Hotel Brosundet due to the boutique hotel itself having 46 rooms within its building. Full hotel facilities are available from Hotel Brosundet, including the Maki Restaurant, which has established a superb reputation for its fresh seafood.
