100 years on Røst
The Fishermen's Home on Røst (Havly Røst) was built in the First World War and opened in 1919. It was only, at first, open in the winter season and was staffed by a manager, housekeeper, other assistants and preachers.
The home was requisitioned in the Second World War by the Germans, 50 men living here, The Norway Seaman´s Mission taking over the house again when the war ended. It, however, needed major renovation. The Fishermen's Home has subsequently been redecorated and extended a number of times. After 1945 the home started to remain open all year round and electricity was installed in 1952.
Volunteers
Harjeet K. Jassal has run The Fishermen's Home since 1994. Volunteers come every year and help staff the home in the hectic winter and summer season.
