Nyksundprojekt
The history, inmho, has a significant gap, but I cannot personally (yet) offer the references to properly fill it. After the abandonment, save 1 inhabitant, as I was informed in situ, the half-ruined houses were discovered by some traveling students, who saw a potential, and an international project going by the name of Nyksundprojekt was founded. It involved students of social pedagogy of various countries, probably Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, (involvement of Technical University Berlin seems well documented) and consisted in restoring the abandoned houses, giving students an opportunity for a practical term while working on the houses together with problem youth. The project must have had some fame in the 90s, several Norwegians sent me there on a '93 hitch-hiking trip, and when arriving, there was a transformation under way, the owners had returned, and whereas before the project management had been under one roof, it now was splitting up into per-house projects, since different owners were up for different deals. The only information an hour's research revealed, was this profile of someone who seems to have been involved at a time :, but it might be a beginning. Some of the current main article is thus outright false, both citizens, albeit not Norwegians, who found the houses worthwhile, and electricity were present more than a decade earlier than given, and not only from 2003 on was corrosion held up. According to, the project was UNESCO recognized and must have existed in 1988, year in which it was given the "European Environment Award" , and in 1997, four years after my personal visit, youth was still sent there. A reference is given to a book written in norwegian, about the Nyksundprojekt time, and apparantly presented in Nyksund itself on Aug 25 2017 I'd be glad if someone with a better connection and more wikipedia experience than me could take this up.
