History

On 4 July 1809, Hasvik was attacked by the British Royal Navy brig HMS Snake. As the village had no defences, the crew of Snake sacked Hasvik with little resistance before withdrawing on 9 July. The village's main church, Hasvik Church, was constructed at its current location during the 1700s. It was burnt by retreating German occupational forces in 1944, and rebuilt in 1955.
