History

Originally, two small villages sat about apart on the northern shore of the Sognefjorden in Leikanger Municipality. Norwegian National Road 13 connected both areas. The main church for the area, Leikanger Church, was located in Leikanger, and the municipal and county administration was located in Hermansverk. Over the years, the two villages grew together, and since the late-20th century, they are now effectively one large village, and the government considers them one urban settlement. The government refers to the village as "Hermansverk/Leikanger". The names can also be used interchangeably. The urban area is also now known as Systrond.
From 1838 until 2020, the village served as the administrative centre of both Leikanger Municipality and also Sogn og Fjordane county.
