Halten, Trøndelag

Halten is an unpopulated fishing village in the municipality of Frøya in Trøndelag county, Norway.

They constituted the northernmost part of the string of islands north of Frøya, which stretch from Sula in the south to Halten in the north. Halten Lighthouse is located on the island of Halten in the central part of the fishing village. The fishing village primarily was located on the islands of Husøya, Halten, Steinsøya, and Rorsøya. A large breakwater was built to protect the harbour area of the village. The village has had no permanent residents since 1988, but during the summers there are many vacationers and tourists.
