Information about Langesund
The city of Langesund was established as a municipality on January 1, 1838. It was merged with Bamble on January 1, 1964.
At dawn, Langesund was one of the most important maritime cities in Norway. Peter Wessel Tordenskiold had one of his ships built at Langesund, Løvendals Gallej.
You can visit the remains of the ancient Langesundstangen coastal fortress at the end of the Langesund peninsula. The fort was founded during the war by the Germans and later used by the Norwegian coastal artillery and the national guard until 1993.
Langesund is one of the most famous summer cities in Norway due to the large number of sunny days. It is also known for Wrightegaarden, a building that hosts open-air concerts every weekend throughout the summer. Artists like Bob Dylan, A-ha, Elton John and Little Richard played at Wrightegaarden.
Langesund's most famous landmark is Langøytangen fyr, a lighthouse on the top of Langøya, an island miles north of Langesund. The group of islands east of the city is called Arøya.
Mathematician Atle Selberg, musician Vidar Busk and Norwegian-American Lutheran theologian Marcus Olaus Bøckmann were all born in Langesund
