Holiday home in Alstad, near Henningsvær

The building on Haverringen in Alstad began life as the village church and served that purpose for decades, according to Lofoten Vacation, the agency that lets it. Klippen, meaning "the rock", was the church's name, and a common one for local churches in Norway.

Downstairs, one big open-plan room holds the living space and kitchen, next to a modern bathroom. The three bedrooms are upstairs: two are newly built and one sits in the older part of the building, and a second, smaller living room up there has a view. Booking.com lists a large double bed, a single bed and two further single beds across the bedrooms.

The house is detached, with a garden, a terrace and free private parking. Booking.com lists views of the sea, the mountains and a landmark.
