About this place

Live Stream | Selje Town Hall & Harbour, Stad Peninsula, Vestland, Norway. Set against the serene waters of Sildegapet bay on the rugged Stad Peninsula, Selje Town Hall anchors a picturesque coastal municipality steeped in ancient Norse and monastic legend. Just across the bay lies the mystical island of Selja, home to the 11th-century ruins of St. Sunniva's monastery—Norway's oldest pilgrimage site. Along the quiet harbor promenade where fishing boats dock with their daily catch, waterfront eateries serve freshly pan-fried Atlantic cod fillets, traditional Norwegian fiskeboller (fish dumplings), creamy chanterelle mushroom soup, and cloudberry tarts.
