Stavern is a small water-side town in Larvik municipality in Vestfold County. It is south of the city of Larvik. Currently there are around 3,000 inhabitants in Stavern. It is a small town where tourism is one of the most important sources of income. During summer, the population increases to around 30,000-40,000 people, due to camping sites and cottages around the town centre as well as boats visiting the harbour.Stavern experiences 200 days of sunshine per year. Consequentially, Stavern’s population more than doubles during summers. From the mid 1750s until 1864, Stavern was home to the nation’s main naval base located in a shipyard in Fredriksvern. A gunpowder tower and commandant’s house remain on Citadel Island, a current refuge for artists. The town is also home of Hall of Remembrance, a monument dedicated to seamen killed during World Wars I and II.
