Bugøynes

Approximately 100 km from Kirkenes, we find the only fishing village in the municipality. The idyllic settlement

which is situated where the fjord meets the open sea is one of the few places in Finnmark that was

not burned down during the war, and it has therefore kept its Finnish architecture dating back to the time

of the Finnish immigration during the 19th century. Most of the 300 inhabitants are of Finnish origin, and

Finnish is still spoken in the settlement.
