Once a bustling hub during the great herring boom of the early 1900s, Mortholmen played a key role in the fishing industry with its large salting capacity. Herring caught along the coast was salted and exported across Europe, bringing prosperity to the local community.  <\/p>\n<p>Founded by Knut and Kaia Jakobsen after World War I, the saltery became a symbol of innovation and hard work. Women, known as the &#8220;Sildak\u00e5nene&#8221; (Herring Women), managed the salting process, while the men braved the dangers of the North Sea. The facility saw both highs and lows in the fishing industry\u2014flourishing during times of high demand but struggling when herring disappeared.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_1a31e502\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The facility saw both highs and lows in the fishing industry\u2014flourishing during times of high demand but struggling when herring disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Mortholmen stands as a preserved monument, hosting events and honouring its legacy. The original herring tanks and rustic charm offer visitors a authentic connection to the past, reminding them of Karm\u00f8y\u2019s resilient fishing community. As one of the last remaining herring salteries in Norway, Mortholmen stands as a symbol of perseverance and history.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a04e21e885d3\" data-id=\"6a04e21e885d3\" data-height=\"60\" data-height-mobile=\"30\" data-height-tab=\"\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row hide_on_default hide_on_laptops hide_on_tablets height_auto\" id=\"mobile\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-video us_custom_fca8cc99 align_none ratio_initial has_border_radius has_iframe confirm_load\" data-cookie-name=\"vimeo_load_confirmed\"><div class=\"w-video-h\"><script type=\"text\/template\">PGlmcmFtZSB0aXRsZT0iVmltZW8gdmlkZW8gcGxheWVyIiBzcmM9Imh0dHBzOi8vcGxheWVyLnZpbWVvLmNvbS92aWRlby8xMDY3MzY5NTk5P2F1dG9wbGF5PTAmbG9vcD0wJmF1dG9wYXVzZT0wJmNvbG9yPTAwYWRlZiZwb3J0cmFpdD0wJmJ5bGluZT0wJnRpdGxlPTAmY29udHJvbHM9MSZtdXRlZD0wIiBmcmFtZWJvcmRlcj0iMCIgYWxsb3c9ImF1dG9wbGF5OyBmdWxsc2NyZWVuIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4gbG9hZGluZz0ibGF6eSI+PC9pZnJhbWU+<\/script><div class=\"w-video-privacy\"><p>By loading this video, you agree to the privacy policy of <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p><p><label><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"vimeo_load_confirmed[]\" value=\"0\"><span>Always load Vimeo videos on this site.<\/span><\/label><\/p><p><button class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_4 action_confirm_load\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Load Video<\/span><\/button><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a04e21e88853\" data-id=\"6a04e21e88853\" data-height=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"30\" data-height-tab=\"30\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_6728651c height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a04e21e88a73\" data-id=\"6a04e21e88a73\" data-height=\"15\" data-height-mobile=\"15\" data-height-tab=\"15\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row us_custom_19a91d0d turisme-boss via_grid cols_1-2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_middle type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:0rem;--laptops-columns-gap:2rem;--tablets-columns-gap:2rem;--mobiles-columns-gap:2rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image us_custom_028e1a78 align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"996\" src=\"https:\/\/mortholmen.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sig-portrett-4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortholmen.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sig-portrett-4.jpg 650w, https:\/\/mortholmen.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sig-portrett-4-196x300.jpg 196w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_de856d25\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\">[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;A Unique and Personal Experience&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22%23FFFFFF%22%2C%22margin-bottom%22%3A%2215px%22%7D%7D&#8221; el_class=&#8221;mundial-heading&#8221;]<div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_6df4bc3a has_text_color\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Mortholmen Herring Saltery has risen from the ashes.
