Norway's national monument Haraldshaugen

Experience Norway's national monument Haraldshaugen, slightly north of Haugesund City Centre.

Snorre's sagas of the kings mention the site where Harald Fairhair is buried. In the nineteenth century it was believed the place described by Snorre had been located. This is where the national monument of the unification of Norway was erected in 1872, during the millennial celebrations of Norway's unification into one kingdom. The monument is located 2km north of the town centre.
