Brattværet

Brattværet is an archipelago in Smøla Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The islands lies about 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) to the northwest of the main island of Smøla, off the coast of Nordmøre. The main island of Brattvær was once one of the largest fishing villages in Nordmøre, and at its peak there were just under 300 people living on the small island. Now there are no more permanent residents left on Brattværet, but the archipelago is used for holiday cottages almost all year round.

Brattværet previously had its own shop, fish reception, flour factory, cod liver oil distillery, school, chapel and sawmill. Of these, only the flour factory, school, chapel and shop remain, and only the chapel is in operation. The flour factory and shop are privately owned and are mostly used as warehouses and the like, while the school has been converted into a cabin.
